artistic endeavors. Music was Buddy’s central fo- cus, but he had so many other interests that were life-long passions. First and foremost, he loved his family and friends fiercely. He never missed a family gathering or any performance by one of his grandchildren. Buddy traveled extensively with his wife Carole, not for the scenery of exotic places, but to inundate himself in the culture and the people of a place. Of course, there was opera, the arts, the theatre. Buddy and Carole attended opera and Broadway regularly. And finally, Bud- dy made sure to keep current with football and baseball, as well as wine, recently becoming in- volved in a wine-producing project with other members of his family. Buddy Ajalat has left a remarkable legacy for his children and grandchil- dren. He had a dynamic, uncompromising per- sonality that was bigger than his many talents. His joy in life was obvious to anyone who heard his robust laugh echo across the room. Those of us who are left behind think of him as a force of life, touching not just our hearts and minds, but those of the scores of students he taught over 50 years. We, his family, will never forget him or stop loving him. We will miss you dearly, Buddy. There is no one who will ever take your place.
