Islanders website & NHL.com Newsday & NY Post sent writers, with Arbour family, ownership, alumni, current players. Islanders website 8/30/16
NYIFC Comments:
Nothing I can add to what was written last summer here which still feels like yesterday. I had a few comments on twitter about Mr Ledecky's quotes about Barclay's.
The organization did a fantastic job for Al Arbour, and his family the last few days.

Al Arbour: A Total Stranger's Passing Can Make A Grown Man Cry |
New York Islander Fan Central | 8/28/2015 08:22:00 PM |
Al Arbour
Al Arbour's loss today made my cry, it hurts.
What can I do but speak from the heart? I have lost family recently to dementia, and seeing the images of Al Arbour during this past year knew the agony he was going through because we experienced it daily.
I knew this day was going to come very soon, and was expecting it to the point of checking even earlier this morning before I posted my entry.
There would be relief when there was no update, but it was always in the back of my mind.
Today became the day.
I'm glad he's no longer suffering, and would think often of what he was enduring every day with his family. How cruel that a man who brought such joy to so many lived his final days in agony, it was so horribly unfair.
Al Arbour could make total strangers like myself who never met him cry over his passing like he was my family. To an entire generation of sports fans, I believe for some that's how special this man and Bill Torrey still are to so many people.
How these men worked together was something so rare and unique, it resonated all the time by the players words over the years.
This franchise under these men were a family with bonds that will never be broken.
The players won those Stanley Cups, and you would read how the New York Islanders could beat you any way you wanted to play.
But the truth is they also beat those teams with character, and heart, not just talent, instilled by two very special individuals, the kind rarely seen.
I could tell a million funny stories and have here over the years. Write about all the cups/wins, great games, but today is not for numbers or records.
Today we mourn the loss of Al Arbour, who will be remembered forever.
It hurts badly.
RIP Al Arbour,
Thank You so much.
My deepest condolences to your family.

Zach Parise Leaves Wild To Be With His Father/Al Arbour Update |
For those who do not know or have read the media reports Zach Parise has left the Minnesota Wild to be with his father former Islander, JP Parise, who was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer, who's condition has deteriorated.
Obviously Al Arbour in a Sarasota hospital with pneumonia, when not living in a nursing home and his dementia issues with recent falls is also very a serious circumstance as Jiggs McDonald let us know.
My thoughts and prayers are with both.

Bryan Trottier Interview: "Al Arbour Going Through A Little Tough Time With Dementia Right Now" |
Buffalo Sabres new assistant head coach Bryan Trottier gave an interview today where he disclosed Al Arbour is going through a little tough time with dementia right now, among other past Islander related subjects.
(4:15 mark in audio)
NYIFC Comments:
Horrible news. Thoughts and prayers to Mr Arbour/Claire and family.
A very informative interview that was started about his time as a New York Islander with an interesting story behind a not so flattering image of Trottier.
Best of luck to Bryan Trottier. I wish management had considered him over Greg Cronin.
