Not sure what to say?

Wow....just saw this today...10 years after Alan's passing. My father, Don Faulkner, was an avid slot and antique collector. Alan was a master in what he knew of the industry and history. He became very good friends with my father....and through them....ultimately me. My father purchased numerous machines from Alan and vice a versa. And as my dad was in the photographic and imaging business....he steered his talents into doing many, many reel strip and gaming machine graphics restorations....

He was a great guy !

Dear Pam, Daniel, Becky and Will

We have so many memories over most of our adult years, its hard to put into words.

I think the most fun memories we have of Alan were seeing Dr Bop and the Headliners at various venues in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana. ---and proms!! Who said proms are just for kids.
What a wonderful person.

It just feels strange to have memories without the conversations.

Bless you.

David and Elly

I was one of Alan's many friends at Northwestern and treasure my memories of his warmth, brilliance, and great sense of humor. I am sad to hear he's not with us anymore but glad I knew him. My prayers and thougts for Pam and children and family

Donna and family, so sorry to hear about Alan. Remember all the fun times growing up with the Sax and Victor families.

Jon Victor and the entire Victor family.

May your memory be a blessing.

Your friends are many - your smile sincere. You will be missed.

I was your neighbor in Long Grove, and had been to see Alan several times. Bought a storage unit full of Jennings slot machines and brought them to Colorado...still have pallets full of them and plan to restore them this year. RIP Alan, your knowledge of machines surpassed all.

Nothing will replace Alan's friendship - he had a remarkable ability to remember nearly every poker hand he played, then review them with me the next day. (Sometimes 2 or 3 times) . Chicagoland will be one angel short this year. Miss you buddy.
