I became neighbors with Alan and Kathy around six years ago, He was welcoming and friendly, and a very interesting guy. I was amazed that he was still working, well into his 90s. And when things were closed down because of covid, I would exercise partly on the stairs of our building, and there was Alan, exercising as well. But again, he was doing this well into his 90s. He was a pretty amazing guy. To Kathy and the whole family, my thoughts are with you at this sad time.
