I will miss you my friend, it has been a great experience having the opportunity to have worked with you on many events together. All the time and laughter we have shared, I will miss you, knowing it holds lots of fun and fond memories. Your eye behind the camera has captured many a historical events and captured love of new partnerships in life to begin together. You will be missed for the vision that you gave as director and leader on many live events. I am so grateful to having time spent you it has been a pleasure.
All my love & peace my friend.

I worked with Alan for over 10 years. He went on the road for us often, setting up focus groups in locations that were not designed for them. He always made it work. He made sure our projects went smoothly. He was the best and always very professional and friendly. I always enjoyed visiting with him waiting for groups to start.

Alan was such a great and kind person. He never said a harsh word. I am a court reporter that worked with him on occasion. He would always say, "I'm in your corner," and I knew he meant it. It is very sad to know I will no longer see that smile he always had.

I am just totally in shock to learn of Alan's passing. I am a court reporter in Western Kansas and I always used Alan as a videographer when one was needed. He was such a pleasure to work with and I will miss his smiling face and pleasant demeanor.
