Are forum regulars aware of this? I found out by accident today.

I'm surely going to miss his words of wisdom and insight in this forum..........was only thinking the other day he had not posted for a few weeks. Seems all the 'fights' and disputes are meaningless now. Puts things into perspective really.

A brilliant mind has been lost, whether one wished to recognize that or not. I fear we shall not see the likes of this teacher and mentor again.

So sad.  My condolences to his family.  And thank you, John, for posting the details.

V/r,

This is indeed sad and shocking news.

It leaves a void in the Dreamweaver community, the PVII community, but profoundly more importantly his wife and children. So sad to hear, thoughts and prayers go out to his wife, children, family, loved ones and friends in this time of unexpected lose and mourning.

James 4:14 KJV - Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

We should all pause and gain perspective to the daily blessing yet delicateness of this life.

WOW!   For decades he was a big part of the web design community I grew up with.   I thought Al would outlive us all.

I am shocked and saddened to hear of this news.  Al has been a huge player in the Dreamweaver community and has helped countless users, giving up so much of his time to ensure that problems are solved and projects can continue.  Adobe has lost a great contibutor.  Al will be sorely missed and my condolences go to his family during these painful times.

Thank you for posting. Al was a colourful character with lots to contribute to the community.

I regret his passing and wish the family lots of strength in coping.

AL will be missed by all. I'm not religious, but if your listening Al -

'keep me a seat al the bar, I'm buying the first round'.

[Ben M]

So saddened to hear this news.  I remember Al from when I first joined the community. He was the most helpful, intelligent, and passionate person you would come across.  My prayers are definitely with his family and friends.

Al was a long-time colleague, albeit via email. Never met him in person but we chatted frequently over the years.

An incredible loss to the web-dev community as we've lost one of our most helpful technicians.

like all of you, I'm speechless.

I've been noticing his absence on this forum for some time. it's true that his comments never failed to create reactions that could keep threads very spicy.

a big thought for his family, his colleagues at PVII and his close friends

Thats a shock ... deepest condolences to his family and loved ones ......
