In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. We have yet to find an accountant as great as Alan was. We always loved coming to his office and listening to his jokes he had a good new one every time we arrived. He always talked about his beautiful family. We miss him

I consider myself to have been blessed to have known Al. First as a client and then as a friend. He spoke often of his beloved wife and shared his words of comfort and strength as I myself battle cancer. He would call to see how I was and share a joke. God holds Al in His arms now.....with my sincere thoughts and prayers for his family.

We are deeply saddened to learn that Alan is no longer with us. He was our accountant for many years and a very dear man who truly valued the relationships with those fortunate enough to have known him above all else. We will miss Alan greatly, but will always remember his caring way and lighthearted, uplifting spirit. Our deepest sympathy to his loving family. Marie and Oscar Rodriguez

Our Dear Friend Al may be gone, but he will always live on in many ways: for his concern for all, for his laughter, for the happiness he gave to others, for his love of family, for his professionalism, for his over fifty years of brotherhood to us, for his kindness to everyone, and as a Dear Friend, whom we will always love and were fortunate to have in our lives.

Dear Rochelle & Family,
Alan was the sum total of every man's dream, the perfect friend. A person with compassion, faith and the ability to understand the true meaning of a hand shake. We all know he never stood in judgement, he was too busy wraping his arms around all that knew him and loved him. May G-d Bless The Family and Friends that were fortunate enough to have known Alan. Rest in Peace Dear Friend.

Alan Leff was not just our accountant, but a trusted advisor and good friend. We already miss his friendly disposition and sincere warmth. As one left his office following a visit, he would tell you "to take good care." This is what we wish for his wonderful and devoted family at this time.

Fondly,
