I hadn't talked to Alan in several years, but when we did talk we just picked up right where we'd left off. A very special person, non-judgemental, kind & appreciative of life & little things. I can still see you, laughing & talking at your dining table while I cooked up fabulous food for us. That was a special time in my life. RIP you beautiful person. I hope heaven has an old chrysler up there for you. I loved you & I still do. Diane McKee Georgia
