My deepest sympathy to Al's family. He was such a kind person and good friend to my brother. He is now an angel in heaven for his children.

Alan and I worked together at Deluxe Data for several years. I remember how shaken he was by his father's death, telling me that he had to work hard to get his head back in the game (his words). So sorry to hear of his untimely passing. Sending deepest condolences to his family at this sorrowful time.

Janet & I extend our deepest condolences to the entire Kotke family. Although we had not seen Alan in a number of years we have good memories from the Cudahy days. God Bless him!

My deepest sympathies to the Kotke family. I am honored to have met Al the first day of our freshman year at UW Whitewater and stayed in touch ever since. Always a kind and caring person and he was really proud of his family! RIP my friend!

I am so very sorry for the loss of Alan. My sympathies to the families. The last memory of Alan was fairly recent (at Leanne and Ron's wedding). Alan was enjoying a dance with us girls :-) I am grateful for that happy memory and hope that you too can hold on to a happy memory during this very sad time.

Dear Mrs. Kotcke, Jeff, David, Kevin and the Family of Alan. My memory is filled with awesome memories of Alan. From cranking "Boom Boom Out Goes the Lights" while traveling to UW-Whitewater to his constant antagonistic behavior with his brothers. Growing up with all sisters, Alan and the rest of his brothers always made me feel apart of their strong brotherhood. You will be missed but thoughts of you will bring smiles to the faces of all who knew you. Enjoy your new digs and enjoy your new role as your families Guardian Angel.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to the entire Kotke family,
Sincerely,
