I am heartbroken to discover the news regarding Ambassador Adams passing. It has been many years since I've had the pleasure of his company as well as being able to goof off with Lex in Haiti. Ambassador Adams will be missed. He is a great man. Lex, I hope you and your Mom are well. SEMPER FI!

On behalf of my classmates in the Yale Class of 1964, I extend condolences to Al's family and friends. Al had many friends in our Class and will be missed. We mourn his passing and will remember him on our Class Website (www.yale64.org), in the January-February 2016 issue of Yale Alumni Magazine, and at a memorial service on campus during our 55th reunion in May 2019.

It is never easy to lose a loved one, I pray you find comfort in Gods promise found at John 6:40 which says that soon we will see all our loved ones again. My deepest condolences to the family.
