My good friend Ashby from Alexandria was a BREATH OF FRESH AIR! I am so very sorry to hear the news of his death and send my greatest condolences to his family.

Ashby will be missed at the coffee roundtable in Alexandria. He was a fine man and good friend with a sense of humor in most situations. My condolences to his family.

Ashby was an inspiration to a young man...in so many ways. I think he was the funniest, least politically correct, bon vivant in the finest sense. He literally defied gravity. He was never dull, certainly. "There ’s hope a great man’s memory may outlive his life half a year." Hamlet

Some people are larger than life and Ashby was certainly one of them. He could fill the room with his laughter and stories. He had a heart of gold and was a true friend. My sincere condolences to Carey, Julie, Jennifer, Brian and Phyllis.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of Ashby's family. We really enjoyed many good times with Ashby in his Alexandria days, especially morning coffees at Shumans. He was truly "one of a kind" and we'll miss him.
Fondly,
Lonny and Teddy

It is hard to believe that Ashby is gone. I will certainly remember the sense of humor and his frank manner. He loved golf and having a good time. I always enjoyed the chance to see him and hear his latest stories. I will miss him and wish his family the best at this sad time.

Not only will Alexandria never be the same, but neither will the whole world. Ashby really was unique and one of the most delightful gents to be around in any social situation. When we next meet, and we will, he still owes me a ride in the Stinson, but we won't need the chute this time.

The mere mention of Asby's name brought alot of smiles to many faces. The thougts of all in Alexandria are with you and the family.

A true Virginia gentlemen. Enjoyed our time in the air, on the course, on the water and in the bars. Never there without his bo'sun's whistle and jokes.

Ashby was a very good friend. We have warm memories of sailing with him, playing duplicate bridge and listening to his jokes. We are deeply saddened by his passing. He will be remembered and missed.

So sorry. He was an "original". I enjoyed every moment with him. He will be missed.

Ashby was a Past President of the Alexandria Businessmen's Club of Alexandria, Virginia. He last met with the Club at a ABC Dinner Meeting in April of 2008 as an Honored Guest. He was truly an "ICON" in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. To have met Ashby only once you left believing that you had just met a new "Best Friend." He will be missed by our community.

Rest well our dear friend.
