I was terribly sad to find out about Alan's passing. Such an amazing mentor, I always think of him and his teachings continue to help me evolve as an artist and as a human being. I wish I could be in contact with Eric and send my deepest condolences to him and all the family.

Alan will always be remembered fondly by his friends in New Haven. A wonderful, warm man and a true "guiding light" in the area of music and photography.

My husband and I often spoke to Allan on our frequent visits to Bright View to visit my father in law. He was so pleasant, so interesting to talk too. We looked forward to seeing him each time we visited. We will remember him always, and he will be missed at Bright View.
