Not sure what to say?

I had the Great pleasure of waiting on Alan in my 21 years at the Jackson fork in on his way to and from the monastery. He was one of my favorite customers always in a good mood always very generous and nice always complimentary everyone loved him. I'm going to miss him dearly!

I think this is the gentleman that fell in Smiths grocery store that my daughter and I helped. He was nice and cracking jokes as we were waiting for the ambulance. We kept wondering what happened to and nobody knew anything. Christy Grant

Alan was a biology instructor when I was an undergraduate at the University of Utah. He went far beyond the normal teacher. I learn much about life while traveling with and visiting Alan. After med school I practiced in Ogden and lost touch with Alan. That is regrettable because he enriched us all. He was a tender, gentle, thoughtful and loving person.

Dr Heap and I became friends when I attended the Cathedral of the Madeleine (I loved the choir music and pipe organ) and he wrote a very generous endorsement to get me into a protestant-evangelical theological seminary in 2001. I´ve always been most grateful for his kindness.

RIP Uncle Alan. I remember all the great times driving you to the monastery. We would stop at Jackson Fort or Chris's place to eat. I remember you showing me the stars at the Fenway mansion. Tell Dad hi for me. May the gates of heaven open up and welcome you with open arms.
