Kathy Please note that I am personally Thankful for people like Al (and yourself) for participating in a MS study that would help me and possibly down the road my daughter. Two people he has never met. I am very grateful that because of Al I have a better chance at a higher quality of life because of the meds. May God Bless and Comfort you! C

Allen was an IUN student in Continuing Studies when I was the Chairman (and also Allens advisor.) He was a hard-working student took advantage of his learning opportunities and had a clear direction toward his goals. My sincere sympathy to his family. Bob Lovely

Our thoughts andprayers are with you Kathy. Al was a great guy and dedicated police officer. I have fond memories of him in Karate and when he helped us Gary cops out serving warrants and came to my aid more than once. He is at peace with the angles. God bless him.
