Al was one of my favorite bosses I had at Xerox. I use to love to help him when he had computer problems and we would laugh about lots of different things. He was a great man and a role model to me as I became a manager at Xerox. My deepest sympathy to his wife and family.
Dear Dorothy – I am sorry for your loss. I always enjoyed your visits to the SJR office. May your memories bring you comfort.
Our thoughts are with Alexander’s family and friends at this sad time.
Dearest Dorothy and family, We are saddened about the loss of Al. We are sending our love and prayers.
Dorothy -our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Al was a great support to us when we came back to Xerox in 1977 and we always enjoyed our time, visits and support over the years. It was much more to us than a professional relationship and more of a friendship. BTW, Dorothy you may not remember but Peggy and I lived in Lewiston while I worked for Bell Aerospace and we had our 3 oldest children born at St.Mary’s before joining Xerox in El Segundo. When Xerox got out of the computer business I was sold off to Honeywell until Alan Purcell hired me on Corporate Staff. Al was part of the welcoming committee and the rest was history..
Peggy has missed seeing you in the Pittsford library since she retired. Our prayers are for a great guy (and of course for his wonderful family).
Dorothy, I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your dear husband, Al. May God give you peace. My prayers are with you and your family.
Dorothy, My sincerest condolences on Al’s passing. Starting in 1984, I worked with Al at Xerox for several years on the CAD/CAM Transition Project.Since our children all went to Fairport High School, Al and I had many discussions over the years about our children’s respective progress and career choices. Even after I retired from Xerox in 2001 ahd moved to Florida in 2012, Al and I stayed in touch with each other at luncheons with our CAD/CAM Project team colleagues and via email. Al was held in the highest esteem by his Xerox colleague, and he will be missed. May God bless Al and keep him in eternal Grace!
Al was the first person I met when I moved to Fairport. He was raking leaves on a windy November day. Since that time Al and I would exchange pleasantries and some interesting insights about the weather, cars, the neighborhood, and other subjects that came up. I have to say that Al was a good neighbor. He was extremely thoughtful about not intruding on my side of the yard. He would take the leaves that fell from his trees on my side. I always told him Al it wasn’t a big deal but he continued to rake and be happy. I will miss our lighthearted conversations and it saddens me that Al won’t be there.
