Not sure what to say?

I am very sorry to find out about Alan's passing, and even though
it is quite late now, I would like to offer my condolences to Alan's parents, family,and sister Lori.
I was a foreign student in the same junior and senior class at Harding Academy with Alan, and his kindness and cheerfullness will always stay with me.
Alan was truly an excellent friend, who was always positive and supportive at all times, and I have always enjoyed his company.
I believe that he had...

I apologize for being late with my entry. I attended Harding Academy with Alan my senior year, and we went to the Junior/Senior banquet together 1979 and ran out of gas returning home (honestly). In 2002 when I heard of his death, I dug out my annual and re-read what he wrote to me. Alan was #23 on the football team, and was always so proud of that number.

To the Family of Dr. Alan Neale Pryor

My condolences and deepest sympathies go to the family of Dr. Pryor. It is truly sad when a loved one dies but this is not Gods purpose at all as stated at Revelations 21:3,4. Please take some comfort from the scriptures and each other. Again my condolences to the family.

Having spent a few minutes with Alan during the last year, my awareness of his exceptional presence was renewed. Yes, as has been written already, his personal warmth and consciousness of God's transcending presence made his own presence more vivid.

So Alan has left this broken world to be with God in His pristine, spiritual world. Though the pain will be with Kerrin, Lindsey, Dylan, Nikole, Lori, Neale, and Treva for the rest of their years on earth, it will always be...

I wish to offer the family my deapest sympathy on the loss of their loved one.

May god rest the soul of Alan. I live a few towns from where Alan was born. I just cried watching the video. I am sure he was a truly lovable man. You and your children have a special angel up there. Remember the memories. Rest in Peace.
