Not sure what to say?

And Nicholas Elling, whose arrival into the world you celebrated with us and whose graduation you celebrated with us was a dancer in 2023 and my escort for the 2024 Ball....both of us remembered you fondly on both of those evenings and missed you. Your legacy lives on.... The Elling Family

The 63rd Quadrille Ball was just a month ago on 24th Feb. Many of us attending remembered Alan with fondness. Several approached me in my role as the event's MC to say they still missed his presence. As we will miss him this Tuesday, 12 years since his passing. A good friend and sage counsel whom I remember on many other days each year. RIP Alan.

Alan brought warmth and common sense to my life in New York City. If my dear mother had not been a force in my joining St. Barts, I would have missed the blessing of Alan who was inherently sweet.

At every important social event, if Alan was there , you already knew it would be a success. His charm glued people together with a very high spirit

Eight years have gone by, and I have never forgotten this kind, good-natured, good-hearted gentleman. I was always happy to see him in the room. God bless him. May his memory endure in the hearts of his many loving friends.
