I just learned of Alan´s passing. I first met Alan in the 1970´s and he represented me in business very early in my career. We ran into each other occasionally after he became a judge and still recall our conversation when that occurred. Simply put Alan was a wonderful guy. I am so sorry for your loss.

This is a great loss to his family, his colleagues and the community.

We spent a lot of good times together when both of us were in Van Nuys, and I will always remember what a terrific and wonderful person Alan was.

As with everyone else who knew Alan I will retain memories and feel the loss.

Sincerest condolences to Sue, Jeffrey and the rest of the family. May they be comforted. Alan was one of the good attorneys in court. How wonderful he became a judge. Irene and I remember fondly the times when Jeffrey and Bobby were in school together as young boys. How they loved playing together! Rest In Peace.
