With profound sorrow, I have to announce the crossing of the bar of Commodore Allen (Al) Knish.
He has been a colleague, a shipmate, a role model, and a great contributor and proponent of diversity and inclusion.
Mr. Knish has been a valuable member and friend of the Auxiliary since 1980.
We extend our deepest condolences to his wife, Elinor, and all his family and friends.
Respectfully,
Tracy Schultz, Ph.D.
Assistant National Commodore—Diversity and Inclusion
ASOC--Instructor
