So very sorry and saddened to hear of Alvin's passing. I have fond memories of weekends spent visiting you both many years past. Though we have lost touch, I wanted to reach out to you and offer my deepest condolences at this time. A friend lost her husband recently and I was struck by something that she posted "We begin to remember not just that you died but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget" So true. My thoughts are with you.

Dear Starratt Family It is so appropriate that you posted the photo of Al as I saw him almost daily during my 30+ years tenure at Ag Canada. He was invariably a man who was happy with his life. This was accompanied by a great sense of humor that brought about much laughter during our conversations. He rarely complained about anything except perhaps getting beat in poker by just a slightly better hand. I had the special opportunity to work with Al and publish several manuscripts with him, which will forever bind us. We Jews have a saying for people such as Al - we call them "mench", a person with integrity, honor and sense of purpose based on respect for others and themselves. He was a great teacher, collaborator and friend. I will miss running into him at our Christmas reunions but I will treasure my memories of knowing him. My very deep condolences to the family. George
