Alan S. Kushner

Alan was a swell fellow who was always willing to share his knowledge and stories of his latest find , funny guy too! He will be missed!!

ALLEN WAS A WONDERFUL PERSON AND KNOWLEGABLE ANTIQUES DEALER, WHO LOVED SHARING HIS GREAT TREASURE FINDS STORIES. WE OFTEN CROSSED PATHS AT VARIOUS ANTIQUE & CONSIGNMENT SHOPS. HE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED.

I first met Alan in the 70's in Germantown when a group of neighborhood people would get together to play friendly but pretty competative games of volleyball every week. We lost touch for many years until we met up just by chance at a furniture auction. After a few career changes we both ended up in the vintage furniture and art business and so our paths crossed regularly at various shops and antique auction sales in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Alan was known to the many antique buyers...

Alan and I met 38 years ago at Friends Hospital where we worked as nurses aides and were extremely close for many years. Everything I immeidately liked about Alan then I still liked about him 38 years later: his honesty and ethics and his intelligence and compassion and his loyalty to his friends. He was a great craftsman with a wonderful sense of design and we own several of his pieces. He was a dear friend and my wife and I will miss him tremendously
