The first time I saw Al Neuharth was at Bernards Surf, My husband and I were there for dinner. I remember a very distinguished and classy looking man! We have been staying in Cocoa Beach for 30 years in Feb. and Mar. It won't "feel" the same without his physical appearance there. Our condolences to you, Rachel, and your family,
Sincerely,

I have been thinking of you Rachael and your children. I am deeply sorry for the loss of a father and husband to all of you. It was always such a pleasure to come over and teach all of you swimming and how proud your father was of each and everyone of you and your accomplishments.
There was always a kind word and a big smile every time I was there. I am sure you will have many beautiful memories to keep him alive in your hearts always. Love to you all, Lisa Poirier

I worked with Al when he was with the Associated Press in Sioux Falls...I later took some of the first sports photos, basketball action, fir his ill fated SoDak Sports weekly. As a 19 year old kid at the time Al treated all with a alot of respect. What a great man who deserved to get to the top. I only wish I had a copy of one of those papers.

Dear Family and Friends:

I just wanted to take a moment to offer my sincere condolences on the passing of a terrific newspaperman, Al Neuharth.

Below are my views of Al :

1) The Al Neuharth we knew had great courage. He was never afraid to speak out against the status quo and conventional wisdom……

2) The Al Neuharth we knew had amazing wisdom. He always knew his subject matter - - and could always defend it…..

3) The Al Neuharth we knew had conviction. He always felt strong about his ideas, no matter what anyone else thought.

4) The Al Neuharth we knew had clarity. His message was typically simple, concise and easily understood…..

5) And the Al Neuharth we knew had credibility. He dang sure knew how to walk the walk and talk the talk.

No one had more compromising integrity than Al . He always thought with discipline and honesty. He could sort through flattery, through politics and could always see things as they truly were.

He was a most remarkable man. I always viewed Al as incredibly competent, very caring and amazingly confident.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Family.

I had the opportunity to serve as Mr. Neuharth's Chief Pilot while he was Chairman of Gannett. We were involved in the launch of USA Today which changed the face of journalism. He took us around the world, visiting many countries, while he interviewed leaders who had made their own impact on history. He expected the very best from those who worked with him and it was my honor to have known him. Our deepest sympathies to Jan, Dan, and the Neuharth-Fornes family.

Worked with the S.O.B. in Cocoa Beach getting out that 1st USA Today paper. He and Vince S. were such great guys to work with. He really took pride in the paper and those people whom he worked with. God bless, you will be missed but never forgotten.
