I had the distinct pleasure of working with Alan on his last car purchase; Alan was unlike any customer before and there won't be another like him. I'm going to miss seeing him stopping by for service or a question, may he Rest in Peace. Deepest condolences to Paula and family.

For a couple of years when I worked at the Permanent Savings Bank, I used to have coffee in the morning with Alan at the Around the Clock restaurant. He was one of the most intelligent and interesting guys I have ever met. I am sure he will be deeply missed by all that knew him. RIP Alan.
