Alan was my doctor and friend for 30 years. He cared for my grandmother, miter and father and my children. He was a caring and wonderful support to me when my father died. He also helped me get through my mother’s lingering death. No words can express my gratitude for him.

Dear Barron Family, As a parent of a Schecter/Gann student in Shelly's year, I would like to offer my condolences on the passing of Alan. Roz and Alan always welcomed Shelly's friends and were very generous in hosting what often turned out to be a large gathering. It was a wonderful group of kids. I did a lot of drop offs at their lovely home and it was always joyful, a hub of activity, which they obviously enjoyed.

Alan was an absolutely beautiful human being. A most loving father and husband, he exuded a warmth beyond all measure. I will never forget how he would tend to his father's daily needs while he was in a rehab facility. A sharper mind nor sharper wit did not exist. While our paths did not cross too often in the last few years it was not a reflection of my fondness and love.
