Alan Durfee

Alan was a perfect neighbor. Always had time to chat, and maintained his place meticulously.

He sure loved his Scotty dogs.

He will be missed in Alamar Village.

remember `Mr Durfee´ from afar when I was 7, and played with daughter Lisa. Many, many years later, `Alan´, and I I had some great conversations about his engineering career at PAFB. Same charming man, two different perspectives! He truly was a life long learner, and passed that passion on to his daughters, so he leaves a wonderful legacy.

My condolences to Al's family and friend. Al occasionally visited the Grand Bahamas Command Destruct site when I was a wet-behind-the-ears site tech there in the early 1980s and he was always an enthusiastic, smart presence. I don't know if my memory is correct, but I think he mentioned that he had roomed with the astronaut John Young at Georgie Tech.

To Alan´s girls:

He was a lucky Shore Acres kid who everyone liked after having escaped Shore Acres to the relief of all to a new neighborhood and my bad influence. However, he never forgot the good times we had as kids and later high school together. You girls were lucky too!

From the distant past and another lucky Shore Acres kid,

Mr. Durfee, I didn't know you well, having only met you a couple of times. However, your daughters are a treasured part of my life, and I thank you for them. May you rest in peace.

Alan was the kind of man who made you feel like you belonged, no matter where you were or who you were with. He had a warmth about him that was impossible to ignore. He never treated anyone with anything less than respect, always valuing those around him. His laughter was contagious, and he had a way of telling stories that made you feel as if you were right there, living those moments with him.

He had a gift for making you feel loved and appreciated, like you mattered, even in the smallest of ways. Alan had this quiet, consistent way of checking in, making sure you were okay, and showing you that he cared. It was never a grand gesture; it was in the small, everyday things-his thoughtful words, his kind actions, his genuine interest in your well-being.

He made you feel like part of the family, always making an effort to connect, to reach out, to let you know you weren´t alone. Alan wasn´t just considerate; he was someone you could count on, someone who made the world a little brighter just by being in it. He will be missed may be rest In peace.

Rest in Peace Mr. Durfee. You had a long and fruitful life. Thank you for your daughters, Deb and Lisa. They took such good care of you. You leave behind a beautiful legacy in them.
