We are so sad to learn of Al's passing. He was such a big part of our lives for a long time--mentor to Charles, beloved by Jaclyn and considered to be family (along with Fran and the rest of the Stein family) by the Greenman clan. We were so happy he was able to celebrate Jaclyn's wedding. He will be sorely missed.

Truly sad to learn of Al's death. He and Fran were long-time friends of my parents and I was fortunate, as I started my career, to work with him on a few matters in NJ. My sincere condolences to the entire family.

So sorry to hear about the passing of Al Stein. He was an extraordinary lawyer and a great teacher. His career spanned for decades and he was a lawyer's lawyer in every sense of the word. Numerous lawyers, like me, were guided by him and will never forget him. Condolences to his family.

Dan and I were shocked and said to hear of Al's passing. My parents have know the Stein's for more than 60 years. Phyllis and Fran met teaching together. Jack met Al and became a great dear friend ever since. Tom always referred to Dan and I as cousins, and to this day it means so much to us. Our prayers go out to Emily and Deb and Tom and entire Stein family. Fran and Al and Phyllis and Jack will all meet in heaven and laugh as they always did.
