I just learned of Alan's passing late yesterday and am greatly saddened. Alan was an amazingly kind and helpful man. I first met Alan when I needed help with one of my firearms. He invited me to his house where he fixed my issue. I continued to rely on Alan whenever I had problems I could not resolve myself. He always had the answer to my issues. Usually, Alan was happy to fix my issues at no charge. Most recently I had consulted Alan on fitting a stock, hand guard and finishing these parts...

Alan and I shared research for the Newberry name. He was always kind and had a great sence of humor... I was so blessed to have known him .

I met Alen when he married my niece Patty and immediately liked him for his wit and easy going attitude .
I live in Texas , so I saw him occasionally and always enjoyed his company . I remember how he loved my Mothers homemade tortillas . He was one of a kind and a loving husband father and grandfather. He will be missed by all his loved ones and their were many . May he rest in eternal peace
