Allan loved being a Fairfield resident for 77 years. He also had cherished memories of his four years at Lehigh University. He was a lifelong member of Congregation B'nai Israel where he served on the Board of Trustees. He rarely missed Saturday morning Torah study and, when the weather permitted, would arrive on his bike.

I am so sorry to learn of Allan's death. From the many years that we worked (and studied) together, I recall that Allan was the most compassionate and thoughtful person. I'll never forget how seriously Allan took all of his responsibilities: family; work; learning; community.

My father worked for Bamby and I remember we attended a Yankee ballgame with Alan and his Dad.
