My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Button family. He was a very good man. I enjoyed catching up with him at Mark's wedding. I remember him coaching out at DCABA and giving me rides home after football practice at South Jr High. May you find strength during this difficult time.

Coach Button picked me out of a DCABA free agent draft in 1983, as I was cut by my neighborhood team. I remember a very fair man. He was taught us, was tough when he needed to be, and we loved playing for him. I've been out of touch with he and the family for 34 years, but I'll never forget that season, our team or that miracle win against the Cardinals. Thank you for the opportunity and the experience. God Bless you Coach and your family.

Neal and I are very sorry for your loss. Neal knew Alan and went to school with him and remembers him very fondly. Alan always had a bright smile and a welcoming comment. Our neighborhood won't be the same without him. Hugs for you, Zee.
