I just learned of Al’s passing today from your blog entry, Jason. As an aspiring CCI candidate, I have profited immeasurably from Al’s online study group. It’s been an important component of my study and preparation. Regretfully, I was never able to meet him in person.

I was privileged to be one of Al’s students for a weekend at his ranch a few years ago at a casting workshop for potential certified casting instructors. His impact here in Texas (and beyond) to flycasters cannot be overstated. A more humble and gentle man is unlikely to be readily found.
Al was to have taught at our Guadalupe River Trout Unlimited Trout Fest this weekend, as he did last year. His battle with cancer forced him to pull out a few weeks ago, but not before ensuring there were casting instructors to fill in for him.
Until we meet again Al…
