Dearest Elsie,
My old friend and neighbor Jeannie remembered how special Alan and you were to me and my family when we lived in Wickliffe so she wrote me about Alan's passing. He was a dear boy when I knew him and I still remember him fondly. My thoughts and deepest prayers are with you and Pat. I know he was well loved and will be missed.

Pat and Elsie, So sorry to hear of Alan's passing. I thought of him each time I come back to Wickliffe but could not seem to connect with him. We did share some great times together growing up and even went to Fort Lauderdale together for Spring Break in high school. He will be missed.

Pat and Elsie,
I have many happy memories of the Arthur Road/Grand Blvd. kids growing up together. I particularly remember a Halloween party at the Weisbarth home that was lots of fun. My sympathies to you both.

Dear Elsie and Pat -- I have such fond memories of Alan. He was like a big brother to me. I particularly remember the boat he had -- and how it was parked in the driveway in Wickliffe. Good times back in Wickliffe growing up.

...I had mentioned to others that even though I couldn't remember the exact topics of discussion, I remembered that he made me smile with his delivery. My condolences to his family. "Missing in action, found in Heaven"
