Alan was not only my manager, but a friend! I will always remember his stories and jokes. When he'd tell a story, he'd always remind you during that story, "it's my story and I'm telling it". He will be greatly missed! Our sincere condolences to the family.

We are so sorry for your loss. Alan was a great man to me as I worked under him while I was at North Rock Walmart. He was a man who loved to joke around with others. The picture says it all about the humor he shared with myself and my wife. When I left Walmart, our times together were sporadic, but when we did see each other, it was as if there was no time in between. We just picked up where we left off. I will greatly miss this man. R.I.P. my friend.
