Not sure what to say?

I believe I knew Alan in high school as I went to Art and Design as well. I never actually met him back then though but we would leave messages for each other in the same desk we both sat in in different class times. He was a Mad Hatter even back then he had to be 16 yrs then. He will be missed.

Alan Greenspan was my brother and he was one of the sweetest and most selfless person I have ever known.
He loved the work he did and all the people he worked with. He wasn't interested in money; all he wanted was fame and he got it.
I will miss his sense of humor,his profound sensitivity and his phone calls. I will always love him.
