Not sure what to say?

To Dave and the O´Dell Family, I was sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. I am keeping your family in my prayers. Sincerely, Brendan O´Toole

I got to know Alan as he often walked Ridge Rd. in Wilbraham. He knew my parents and the tower property that they owned. He often shared his memories of riding his bicycle up the mountain as a young man and stopping at the tower. It was always a pleasure to share in his stories. He was such a gentleman. My condolences to the family.

I have know Alan since 1952 when we were 10 graders at Tech High School. I admired for his strong believe in God and family. He was there for me when my wife passed away. I appreciated his advice and friendship. He will be missed.

To the Alan's family, Alan's passing has "taken the wind out of my sails". I have lost a dear, close, friend, and I am devastated. Alan was the model of a clean living gentleman. I had the great pleasure of knowing and working with Alan for many years. I was looking forward to his 90th birthday party. Alan put up the good fight over the years with his heart condition, never complaining. Alan will be remembered in my prayers. " God be with you" Alan, an old Arabic saying. George Sarkis

Rest in peace Alan. I got to know Alan from St Patrick's when I taught CCD. A very nice man.

What a pleasure it was to conversate with you. Your stories made my days and nights working at Bluebird a breeze. May your soul reunite with your beloved wife and find peace. My deepest condolences to thr family.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
