I want to send out my condolence to the Larkin family and everyone that had the privilege to meet Alan Larkin. Alan was a man who you respected at first sight and soon after fell in love with. I along with everyone will miss his cheerfulness, knowledge, and wisdom..... AJ, you have changed my life more than anyone. You will never realize what you have done for me and becuase of Alan and your mother that was possible. It kills me to know you're in pain, but remember all the friends and family you still have who love you. Alans legacy lives on through you and your family. My deepest sympathy ......with love Keith.
