Dear Linda,

I have been thinking about Allen over these past days and remembering how he was quick to laugh, how welcoming and generous he always was, how his energy and positive vibe filled the room, and how he added so much wisdom to every conversation. I cannot imagine the huge hole he leaves in your family, but his was a beautiful life, and yours was a beautiful life together.  May sweet memories and loving family and friends comfort you and hold you tight during this sad and difficult time. Jimmy and I will miss him and we send our love and hugs and prayers. We are grateful for the good times we shared with him and with you both.

With all our love,

lin and jimmy

Dear Linda,

I was sorry to learn of Allen's passing.  While I did not know him, I heard you speak lovingly of him many times.  I hope that time will provide some relief for the sadness you and your family are experiencing.

Best wishes,

It was a great honor to be Al's colleague and friend. He contributed to our community in ways big and small, and we are better for it. He was a mensch and an inspiration.

Dear Linda and family,

I was saddened to hear about Allen’s death. I have such fond memories of him from our time at CASBS and other times when our paths crossed. I particularly remember his patience when he gave impromptu salsa dancing lessons for remedial learners at one of the Center events! I know how hard it is to lose a life-long spouse and the pain of dealing with their illness. I send you and your family my thoughts for peace and healing at this time and during the coming months.

Love,

Sarah

Dear Linda and family,

Allen was amazing at so many levels. I can only imagine what a void he leaves in your beautiful family. My sincerest heartfelt condolences for your profound loss.

Dear Linda and family. What a heartwarming read, what an impressive person, what a great loss, and what a blessing you have been for one another! I hope you’re holding each other close and finding peace.
Dear Linda and Family, We are mourning Al's loss at Santa Clara University. He was always a beautiful presence -- full of light, intellectual curiosity and genuine kindness. He was one of the first people from SCU I met  when I was being recruited as the first female dean and he made me feel very good about this community.  He was always helpful, willing to serve and community minded. We will miss him deeply.
Linda, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. My heart is with you and your family as you grieve your husband and honor his life.  Although I didn’t know Allen personally, it was so clear from his obituary what an incredible man he was, and what a devoted husband and father he must have been. My heart is with you and your family as you grieve and remember his life. Please know you are in my thoughts, and I’m sending you comfort, strength, and peace in the days ahead.

Dearest Linda,

My heart goes out to you and your beloved family at this great time of loss. The great love that Allen and you shared is exemplary for all of us. Your love, devotion and care for him is truly inspirational. May God keep you and your loving family in His loving embrace in your deep grief. May memories of his life and the great legacy that he leaves behind serve as a strong encouragement and comfort to you all. Please take good care of yourself too. 

Much love and deepest condolences,

Ee Ling
