Alan Grossmann

miss ya, Al!

One of the best

Al was an absolute great guy.I saw him regularly at Maxons,and he was always donating his time to keep an eye on the shooters and see that we always followed proper safety protocols.Always a kind word and always compliments and words of encouragement.He will be missed by all of us.A hard man to replace.Our Condolences to him.Thanks.Pete Platt,President of Shooting Sports,Post 1084,Roselle,Illinois.

The first time I went into the range, I had no idea what I was doing. Al took the time to teach me the proper stance and grip, and he was patient, even though I was the least skilled person on the range. And every time I went in after that he would check up on my progress. He was a great man and he will truly be missed.

To Alans loved ones...
I only had a few experiences with Alan however, they were all unforgettable. I first met Alan at the range 6 years ago when he was training another man. He gave me some shooting pointers and slipped me his card. A few months later i put a group of gentleman together and we took his gun safety class. Alan was by far the most chilled out gun advocate to live. He loved teaching others about firearm safety and self protection. Wow, Alan was such a kind and unique soul....

I was shocked to see Alan's Obituary posted at the Maxon Gun Store website. I was so lucky to have met him and learn proper safety technique from him. He was patient, caring and competent. He was such a good man. I shall miss him also.

To Al's family. It took me a long time to think of how to sum up my thoughts about Al. I knew him from the range. I was a police officer for 30 years and when I retired I had to qualify to continue to carry a gun. I wasn't very good at shooting. In 45 minutes Al taught me more than i had learned in 30 years. My son (also a police officer) and I kept going to the range and really looked forward to our time spent with Al. He was unmatched as a teacher but that was only a small part of it.
Al...

Al was a very friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced individual. He made my friend and I feel very welcome in his home during one of his classes. Although, that was the first time we'd been introduced to him, it was evident that he was great person that could talk to anybody. The self defense world is truly losing one of its finest instructors. Rest well, Al. May your legacy continue to inspire and train us "Sheepdogs".

Thank you Linda.
