"Uncle Al" was a huge influence on my life. Allen and my father became best friends at Goddard. I first met Allen when he joined us for dinner at our house in Glen Burnie, MD. I was a 7th grader well first in space sciences through my father´s influence and a budding classroom comedian. At that dinner, Allen showed me that you can be really, really smart, witty and laugh loudly to fill the room. Over all my formative years later, I recalled his hearty laugh anytime I needed a smile. I looked towards Allen as one of my great influences on my life. I so looked forward to seeing Allen and Jodi when visiting. In the last few years, I became very interested in quantum physics, the scientists and philosophy in its development and current theories expanding on its principles. I was very lucky to share that with Allen. He cautioned me to be very discerning in these new theories by emphatically saying if they cannot be thoroughly tested, then remain doubtful of their truth. I believe Bohr, Dirac and Feynman would be very proud of him. Needless to say, I loved the guy.
