“ I was so shocked and saddened by the news. Ali was a great leader with warm and humble attitude. But he was a kind-hearted person at most. Though I had only a few chances to talk to him in person when he was our Dean, he always made me feel more motivated, encouraged, and less worried. He will be remembered as our lovely Dean by the people in the Beedie School. Send my sincere condolences to Ali's family. ”
