Alan Perry Jacobs

I only just found out about Alan's passing today (7/28/19) and was so sorry. He produced a movie I wrote and directed for CBS in 1991, called AN AMERICAN STORY. I loved working with him; he was such a talented producer and a really good man. We had a lot of laughs together, and he and Lynn had just had their daughter, who he was over the moon about. He was wise and decent and kind and we needed more like him. He was also a true New Yorker. I was blessed to have known him.

I met Alan Jacobs only once, at a splendid dinner party in Chapel Hill. Lynn made a heavenly soup and the warmth and energy around the table was extraordinary and most memorable, especially the enthusiastic and interesting questions and stories asked and told by Alan.
Mes condolonces. Rest in Peace. Love to you and to Alan's beautiful daughter, Joy

Very sad to hear. Always a good friend with a good heart and wonderful mind. A great family man-I will miss you

So sad to read this, but grateful to have known Alan during his time in LA. He was such a kind, wise soul whose simple presence filled a room with warmth and trust. Love to Lynn and Keely,

Lynn, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Alan's warmth and kindness.

Alan and I played many a round of golf.
It was always surprising how much fun we could have though neither of us had a lick of proficiency. I joined him on the links yesterday. There he was, always a laugh and a smile as we muddled through.

I so loved working with Alan in the Film Department at California State University, Long Beach. My condolences go out to his family. RIP Alan!
