Alan Illig

My Uncle Alan Illig was one of the most intelligent yet nicest human beings I've ever known. He & my Dad, Donald Illig, were simply wonderful people, both cared about every person they interacted with as well as the community, the greater good, serving humanity to leave the world better because they were here. They were both fair, just and pleasant beyond any other qualities, both believed education and had faith in the strength of the human spirit. I always looked forward to visiting...

My friendship with Alan goes back to our involvement with a foreign affairs discussion group in the 60's, and his encouragement of me to lead the Lewis Street Center. I've never known a more thoughtful, modest and caring person. Like me, he has touched many with his kindness. My thoughts are with Liz and his family.

He was 100% of the reason why I joined the HSE Trusts & Estates practice as a paralegal almost 30 years ago. Just the nicest man I've ever known.

Elizabeth & family, Alan was always so positive about everything, even his upcoming procedure. You are in my thoughts and wishes for healing from your tremendous loss.

May you feel God's loving peace in your hearts.
As you sit with the sorrow of great loss, turn your pain and fears over to the one who has been sent to lift the burdens from you.
Lift your voices in thankful praise to the Wonderful Creator who has restored Alan for his life with Him in Eternity.

May this image help in your understanding that the pain you feel today is of your flesh, but the image of Alan walking beside his Lord can only bring healing and Joy to our souls....

The team at The Strong National Museum of Play was saddened to hear of the passing of Alan Illig. Alan was an honorary member of The Strong's Board of Trustees, having served actively on the board from 1969 to 2012. Alan played a crucial role in the creation and development of the museum before it opened to the public in 1982, and he was a leader, visionary, and driver of museum growth in the decades after, including playing a large role in the museum's acquisition of the Elaine Wilson...

I learned of the talents and the kindness of Alan when he served on the board of the SUNY Brockport Foundation. He was of great assistance and reconozed the importance of the institution to the community as it was his mother's alma mater. Condolences to all family and friends.

My condolences to the Illig family. I practiced law in Spencerport for 50 years & had contact with Alan many times. A gentleman and excellent attorney.
