To Mr. Pelkey and Anne, I was also in grade school with Alan at C.K. I also remember being at UWM with him. He was a kind and funny person with a great sense of humor. I am so sorry for your loss.

Mr. Pelkey,

I just heard about Alan and wanted to express my sincere sympathy to you and Anne. I was at your house often during the Chirst King years and Cub Scouts, and there are many great memories of Alan--he always had a big, wide grin on his face. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Tom and Annie ~ My thoughts and prayers are with you both as you go through this road together. Al and I went to Pius XI high school together. We recently reconnected and have been Mafia War buddies on facebook. At Pius he always had a smile and could make anyones bad day go away with his smile. He always had good things to say , always happy. He is going to be greatly missed. But I know he will be smiling down on everyones heart he has touched until we meet again on the other side. God Speed Alan your smile went out too soon on earth!

I would like to offer my condolences regarding the passing of Al.

I met Al as a classmate at UWM twenty years ago. Al's spirit was warm and his presence was strong. He was difficult to overlook; the memory of Al's signiture grin still makes me chuckle. Al had a fantastic sense of humor; he was witty and bold, yet gentle and kind.

While the world may miss our kindred brother, we will surely never forget the bright light he cast over us with his dynamic character.

I would like to thank you for sharing Al with the world, he enriched the lives of so many of his friends and family.

My deep sympathy to the Pelkey Family.

Dear Tom and Annie you have my sympathies for your great loss. I do have fond memories of Barb at our summer gatherings. Unfortunately I never really knew Al but I am sure with parents such as Tom and Barb he would have been a wonderful person.

Tom, I was stunned to hear of the death of your son, Alan. I would think the death of a child unbearable. I also just found out that Barb died a year ago. I am so terribly sorry to hear about that..You have heavy emotional burdens to bear.

As a husband, I am unable to fathom the loss of a wife. As a father, I am unable to fathom the loss of a son. As a person, I am unable to fathom the loss of both in such a short time period. My thoughts and prayers go out to you Tom and Annie at your time of grief.
