No matter what circumstance Alan was in with us all, he was always cool, calm, sweet and sincere. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Love to you all. Mary and Bill

Joanie and the whole Desmarais family: Fred and I send our deepest condolences. Working for Alan at the Town of Manchester was a great experience and getting to know him and also getting pictures and Xmas cards with you filling in the info of what was going on in the family. I truly enjoyed all of that. Just sorry he was taken too early.

Paul and I are very sorry for your family's loss. He was much loved and very active in the lives of your family.

Matt and family - I´m so very sorry to hear for your loss. Thinking of you all during this very difficult time, and hoping the happy memories you have will help you on the hardest days.

To Joan and the entire Desmarais family: Barbara and I want to express our sincerest condolences to your family on Alan´s passing. My relationship with Al goes back many years as part of our municipal finance careers as well as our fond memories of growing up in the Park Street neighborhood. As an active member and officer of the GFOA CT, Al was instrumental in the professional development of several young finance officers and was a great resource for current topics in the municipal finance...

My sincere condolence to Alan´s family and friends. Alan was a remarkable leader and trustworthy in his career running the Town of Manchester, CT Finance Director. A great mentor and contributor to the CT Government Sector. I will always be thankful for his guidance, respect and honesty. Sincerely, Laura Coleman
