RE: Al Barsa

["Chuck Ackerman" <CAckerman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Having seen his presentations at COMMON for decades I grew to know him
and sought his advice on decisions over the years.  His exuberant
personality and ever giving spirit will be missed.

I can remember the COMMON in 2001 where he gave overflowing, packed
presentations on the disaster of 9/11 with photographs and a tear
filled, sobbing presentation.  No one left the room with dry eyes.

Al touched many of us with his spirit and enthusiasm.  He was our
evangelist to IBM and I know that no one will ever replace him.

I've just been given the news that Al Barsa died last night.  No  
details yet - will pass those along as I hear them.

Al has been a friend for many years and a long-time contributor to  
this list - we'll miss him.
