I was shocked to hear about Alan. He was always so kind and happy. Always had a smile on his face. I had a lot of good chats "over the fence" with Alan. He was a nice man and he will be missed. Just a few days ago I drove near his home and thought, gee I should stop by sometime. It may seem strange to add this so long after Alan's passing. But I just found out today after talking to a former neighbor from our Catasauqua neighborhood.

With deepest sympathy,
Terry L. Weida
