Every organization with which I have been associated has a group of individuals that collectively constitute the soul of the organization. When those people are lost, the organization looses something that can't be replaced. Al was a big part of Audiogon's soul. He was a gentleman's gentleman and a scholar's scholar. His tone was always polite and collegial- even when he was dealing with neophytes and buffoons. Those of us who wish to honor his memory would do well to emulate him.
Goodbye my friend.
