To the Moron Family,

My sincere condolences to you all. Although we have both gone on to separate lives since our youthful days together, I have always admired the Alan I once knew. Alan has touched the lives of many with his joyful charm, his music and his dedication to family and friends. His passing will leave a special place in the hearts of many, many people that can never be filled by anyone else. I'm sorry for your loss especially, as that place in your heart will be so much bigger for having known him so long and so well.

Sincerely,

Robin (Berry)(Moron) Miller

Julie, you don't know me but I grew up across the street from Alan and we were friends for many years. We played ball together and I spent many Friday nights sleeping at his house and watching the little rascals. I joined the Navy at 18 and retired in 2000. I'm very sorry for your loss. I wish I had stayed in touch with him. I hear he was a great man. I'm sure he was a great Dad and husband as well. Your family is in my prayers. God works in mysterious ways but He does love you and the boys.

Dear Julie, Adam and Nathan,

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. As the Recreation Director, I became associated with Alan through his involvement with the Babe Ruth organization. His willingness to contribute in such a big way reflects his community spirit and his devotion as a father, and it has been people like him who have made Standish such a great place to live. My family's thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time.

Dear Julie, Adam and Nathan,

Our sincerest condolences to each of you. I want to say how much our family appreciated the two years that Alan coached our son, Ben in Little League. Not everyone is so willing to invest their free time coaching kids or getting involved in their community, but clearly Alan enjoyed it and he was remarkable at it. It was a priviledge to have known him.
