We met Alan as an instructor in our club 4 years ago. He was a caring considerate man always willing to help others even while he was ill. He was always encouraging and compassionate. He had a gentle way about him. He will be sorely missed and never forgotten. We pray that he will be side by side helping out in Heaven. RIP

I met Alan through the club and he gave me excellent advise when he directed me to try Trap. He was a great person and will be missed by all. My thoughts and prayers to his entire circle of family and friends.
