It was with shock and sorrow that I learned of Al's passing. Having worked with and for Al at Burgess and again at Cassels we spent much time together. I learned many things from Alan utmost of which was integrity. All too often these days that quality is very hard to find consistently or is considered "not in the scheme of things" Al thought otherwise as do I. Another noble trait I often noticed was that he would take the time to call his mother.. Amazing I thought , A busy president finds it very important to take the time during his busy day to call his mom. I wish I had found the time to call my mother but then we get so busy these days we seem to lose focus on the the important things. I am a stronger , and I think a better person for having met and worked with Alan and as are all of us , will miss him ... My condolences to the family , we were lucky to have known him... Randy R
