"Big Al" passed peacefully in his sleep in the early morning of August 15, 2016 after 87 years of being an inspiring teacher, indefatigable administrator, brilliant author, passionate musician, and loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. He is sorely missed.
Memorial contributions in his honor can be made here or here, or to the charity of your choice.
