I am so sorry to hear about Alan's passing. I always admired him for pursuing his dream to become a doctor. My children have such good memories of our neighbors next door in St Charles. I'm sure he will be missed.

I have wonderful memories of Dr.Delhomme greeting me with great warmth and excitement when I arrived at your home. He always showed such interest in my life and my family and wanted to hear how everyone was doing. That ability to make others feel special was one of his many gifts. He seemed to have this enthusiasm for everything he did. I was so sorry to hear of your loss.

To Therese, David, John, Monique and your families - Tammy and I want to express our heartfelt sympathy in the loss of Alan. We lived next door on Garner Avenue from 1982-89 and remember all of you very well. Alan's quest to be a doctor was still in progress when we left for Florida, and since then he has remained an inspiration to us, as a great husband, father and friend. We have very fond memories of you all and wish you much love and support from family and friends to get you through this difficult time.
