We have been blessed by our friendship with Jane and Alan since becoming neighbors a few years ago. Alan´s sarcastic sense of humor mixed with his kind heart always made our visits so fun, and he and Jane have also left a lasting impression on my daughter who adores them. We will always remember Alan with so much fondness and gratitude.

We feel so graced to have had the privilege of meeting Alan and his wife Jane. Bob meet him for the first time and a fishing dock and felt a great kinship with Alan
We enjoyed a beautiful meal in their home and his meal was fabulous.
We had hoped to include their visit to out home with a meal, that unfortunately never happened.
Bob had many plans and hopes of fishing and partnering up with Alan in the world of fishing.
Somethings are just shorter lived and a dream that wasn´t in the future. Bob and I both are so happy that we got the time we did to meet an exceptional man and enjoy the company of he and Jane.
He will be remembered with love and missed by many. Blessings and hugs

While only knowing Alan during his retirement years he became a true friend and great neighbor. I will miss our time together.

Francisco and I were so saddened to hear of Alan´s passing. Alan valiantly and bravely navigated the rough waters of a lengthy illness, cared for so finely by you Jane. We will always fondly remember all our times together, always enjoying a fine meal Alan lovingly prepared, gathered around the table filled with hearty laughter and the good company of you both. We are sending prayers for you each with so much care.
