We were close, even though we had our spats at times.  We were close as 
wrestlers and sax players; I played Tenor (thanks to encouragement from Fred 
Olver,” and Al played Alto sax.

The 19th how eerie.  Born October 19 and passed away March 19.  Was anyone in 
touch with him to the end?  This is just devastating.

a massive infection and his lungs had shut down. He expressed his appreciation
