Not sure what to say?

So sorry for your passing of what sounded like a wonderful person. By any chance did Alan live on Princeton Ave in Salt Lake City, when he was maybe a Teenager or a little older?

To Mimi and the Matheson family, I only just now learned of Alan's passing and send heartfelt condolences, combined with the blessing of having known Alan through my dad, Willard "Ped" Pedrick. We moved to Tempe in 1966 and from the first meeting, I felt Alan's warmth through the sparkle in his eyes and his kind smile. I was 17 yrs. old and Alan always made me feel seen in a way unusual between adults and teenagers. So often we learn more about people when they've left this realm, as is the...

Alan Matheson was my hero. He was an outstanding Dean at ASU Law and a great supporter of students. Please know how well loved Dean Matheson was in Arizona.

Alan was one of the most caring people I've ever known. I will always be grateful for how, as Dean at ASU Law, he helped me launch my law teaching career (after eleven years in practice). With a calming, ever-present smile, he made a difference to so many.

I am so sorry to hear of Alan's passing. I so enjoyed getting to know him and his family. Steve and I were happy to be with you on many occasions and enjoyed lovely meals at your home. May you find comfort and peace in the coming days as your family will be of great love at this time. Condolences at this time, Claudia Ellett

Mimi and family im so sorry to hear about this loss. Im lucky to have had the chance to meet and know Alan over the last few years of cleaning his windows. He was always so welcoming and friendly to me. I hope you all just remember the great memories of him and the laughter shared. Rip to a wonderful man. Love Brook

All honor to his name.

I am so very sorry that I will not be able to join the family at either of the services for Alan. Alan has been a beacon of the best of humanity for me since I met him at my brother Rollo Anderson marriage to his sister, Bonnie Matheson, 78 years ago. The entire Matheson Clan has felt like kin to me. Steve, Lorna and I were classmates and friends. Norma was my chauffeur and companion for all of the Salt Lake Acting Company plays. I am now blessed to be able to see Lu very often at Town...

Thank You for your Service,Sir.
