I was so sorry to hear of Al's passing and that of his wife, Jan.
I met Al about twenty five years ago--and while he "ruffled some feathers" with his straight talk at times--I had an abiding respect for him, his service in Vietnam and for his dedication as a medical professional. We were peers and had a bond of shared history and values.
After 9-11, he brought his nurse-consciousness into church rooms where we prayed and he exalted us all to take care of ourselves, to be brave and to reach out to each other when needed.
I pray that his family knows what he meant to many and that he will not be forgotten.
Blessings as well to Jada.
