Roseann and family,
We are saddened to hear of Allan's passing, and our hearts go out to you and your family at this time. Allan was a great friend to Marcus for many years whom Marcus held in high regard. The expression of "giving the shirt off his back", truly discribes Allan who was there for Marcus many times.He will be deeply missed.When mentioning Allan's name my first thought will always be joining Al and Roseann to what would be my first Nascar race up in Poccono, and my contribution was a cake which I somehow forgot to include sugar in it.It was terrible, but Allan as gracious as he was said "It taste great don't worry about it" that was just Allan, a truly wonderful man. Rest in peace dear Allan,
Marcus and Jackie

Roseann and family,

I was saddened to learn of Alan's death. Art called me from VA to let me know. He considered Alan one of his best friends, and our hearts go out to you. I can never remember a time when Alan failed to make me laugh, and that memory will always remain with me. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you, and I hope Alan is no longer suffering and has gone to a better place, where we will all meet again one day.
