Alan B. Graf

We are very sad at the loss of our friend, Alan. There was always a laugh when he came by our office. We will certainly miss him!! Linda & Dwight Dooley (Sarasota Fl)

To the Graf Family,

Our deepest sympathies on the loss of your beloved father. I only met him a couple of times, once in Florida and a couple of times at baseball games in CT, but have enjoyed the stories shared by Carolyn through the years.

Carolyn, Mike & Sean, You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Maria, Mike & Sean Ross

To the Graf Family, My thoughts and prayers go out to you. Your father was a wonderful man. He gave me an opportunity to be part of the Akzo family and my career grew from there. I always had great respect for Alan Graf. He was a man with great presence and an awesome heart.

I will never forget the leadership/communication skills that Alan portrayed to his company at Akzo Nobel Salt, my first real job out of College and he helped to shape my work ethic in a very positive manner which allowed me to have many succeses after Akzo Nobel Salt. Deepest Sympathy to Gordon Brinker and family, Shelly Vinciguerra Daley, Customer Service at Akzo Nobel Salt

Dear Alan,Jr., Gail, and Carolyn:
Mother informed me this evening of your father's death. Dad worked for Alan at Keller Crescent. I have fond memories of times with the Graf Family. You always felt welcome in the Graf home.

To the family of Alan B. Graf...you have my deepest sympathy on the loss of a wonderful family member. My husband, Bill (deceased),& Alan were "pals" for many, many years & worked together at Keller-Crescent. I feel very fortunate to have met Alan - he was an inspiration as well as a good friend.

It was a pure pleasure and a life changing experience to work for a company run by Alan Graf. Alan was relentless in his determination to make the workplace a joyful environment. The skill and commitment required for Alan's level of success are rare, but far rarer and more honorable traits are the care and consideration he dispensed so consistently; a man who cherished life...and the lives of those around him. This gentleman made so many lives so much better.

A memory worthy of...

I was saddened when I received the news that a dear friend, Alan Graf, had passed away. I have known him for approximately 8 years as a gate guard at Laurel Oak where he lived. Alan was the kind of person whom you met the first time and felt like you knew him all your life. I was expecially impressed with his display of kindness to Patti's Mother, as every morning he would take her to breakfast and would return and stop at my gate to visit. His words were always kind and commendary. I...
