I have known Alan for many years and always enjoyed seeing his work and being with his wife,Audrey and daughter Andrea. His paintings glowed and were beautiful and harmonious in their entirety. I will miss his sense of humor and knowledge of his field. a very special person, with a great sense of humor. Betsy Donohue

Alan had a generous spirit that made its way into his paintings. I used to see him years ago painting outdoors by the co-op wall on Wooster St. If I stopped to say hello, he always had words and a smile, but his eyes were fixed on his canvas. He was an abstract painter but seemed to be always following the light. I remember his orange paintings, the shadows just beyond noon. And, somehow, I always felt safe seeing Alan there. I think that's what artists do--they make us see beyond ourselves into their orange or green or whatever color the light dictates. I will miss him. And, Audrey and Andrea, I wish you love and peace for 2017. Ginny
