Not sure what to say?

I am a basketball card collector, I have some cards of Alan Ogg and for me it didn't matter if a player was a scorer, but for me I see to get to the NBA is a great honor and especially the old times of the NBA. I came across some cards or Alan and saw he passed away when i did a google search, reading the comments of him- it's so beautiful what you all wrote of him, may God bless him but most importantly his family, who miss him and also his friends and God bless you too.

Enjoyed watching Mr. Ogg during his UAB days.Saddenned to hear of his passing.My condolences to his family.May God comfort you in your loss.

Rest in peace, Big 53. You will continue to live in the hearts of Blazer fans.

I REMEMBER WATCHING ALAN OGG WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER. HE WAS A TRUE "LUNCHPAIL" TYPE OF PLAYER AND HE WAS A FAN FAVORITE AND ONE OF MINE AS WELL. THIS LOSS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF WHY WE MUST LIVE EVERYDAY AS IF IT IS OUR LAST BECAUSE TOMORROW IS PROMISED TO NO ONE. GOD SPEED ALAN AND REST IN PEACE WITH YOUR FELLOW HEAT BROTHER ALEC KESSLER. WE WILL MISS BOTH OF YOU.

In high school, where being different was the hardest thing you could ever experience, Alan was the nicest, most gracious person you could ever hope to meet. He was a very sweet, quiet and shy guy who will be missed by all the Gardendale Rockets that knew him!!

Alan will be greatly missed. As a UAB student, I spoke with him several times at Blazer games. I can't say I knew him well, but he was never anything but kind and gracious to me. Great basketball player, even better human being.

I will always have fond memories of Alan's time spent here is South Florida. My thoughts are with his family.
