I am so shocked and saddened at the loss of Alan.
I knew him from when he was fifteen and was so impressed with his open hearted warmth and his innately courteous nature . It stood out . Especially at that age .
At a party once a male friend of ours was standing next to me as we watched Alan interacting and this friend turned to me and said ' wow Alan really is a gentleman isn't he ?'
' Yes take a lesson '
Alan is one of the people I loved best in the world .

I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that Alan was my best friend-- he was an amazing friend to so many people. His generosity, kindness, and odd-ball wisdom were priceless. My heart goes out to his family.

No words I can offer to comfort the family during such a tragic time. You are all in my heart and prayers. Alan was a dear friend to my family for over 20 yrs. He was so authentic and had such a great heart. He touched so many peoples lives and influenced so many. I am grateful for being one of them.

Alan in addition to everything else loved to fish. Charlie Barbee, Alan, Ray and I spent many days together in the Atlantic Ocean's Gulfsteam with Captain Dicky Harris catching marlin (Alan's favorite) Tuna, Mahi-Mahi and Wahoo. We always had a blast.
I went out a couple times on Alans fast boat as well, those trips were always exciting because we were never sure we would make it back to shore I know Alan missed Ray terribly as we all do, so now they can be together again. Alan I'm...

Dear Alex, Nathan, Elaine, Cindy and the kids,
I am at a loss for words. I am truly crippled with grief. I cannot possibly covey how deeply saddened I am over the loss of Alan. My heart genuinely aches for each and everyone of you. For 25 years Alan was my best friend. I have nothing but warm, fond, loving memories of times past. Alan was a bright shining light in my world. The very last thing he said to me on December 4th, his Birthday was that he would call me on mine...
