It is with a heavy heart to have to say good bye to a friend. While I’ve known Ali for many years, the most memorable ones are thru the last decade of his life; we’ve enjoyed many lunches and walks together and were able to share many of our personal experiences. It was always noteable how balanced and reasonable his thinking was, clear and with definite goals; he was very personable , with a subtle sense of humor and deep understanding of the world around him. I will miss him! RIP, my friend
