Alan was a great guy, bowled together in a regional doubles tournament. We had a great time, it was always enjoyable drilling and setting up equipment for Alan. Miss his humor!

Alan going to miss you brother. I still remember when we stated bowling together back in the YBA. The times you used to come over my house to spend the night before we went fishing the next morning or bowling on Saturday mornings. I will miss you ability to make everyone laugh besides your bowling skills. You and Craig were like brothers I never had. My heart is aching but I know you in a much better place now where there's no pain. May God Bless your family and until I See You Again My Brother RIP AND KEEP EVERYONE IN HEAVEN LAUGHING

We met I believe in 88 or 89 at a national tour stop. Although we were from one end of I-64 to the other away in KY. we had the lefty and KY connection. I truly enjoyed every minute we ever talked and chatted at tournament's. I thought of you often and even asked about you last year wondering how you were doing. God Bless my friend! we'll Bowl some together again someday in those Golden Lanes of Heaven!
