Alan was a very special person! Singing with him since 1991, he became a friend, always eager to help, answer questions, and patiently listen. We joyfully listened to the cantors at the recent Spring, 2015, cantorial conference, and laughed when I said it was like candy, eating chocolate, hearing such magnificent sounds from each cantor, between our Kol Zimrah performances! In fact, Alan invited me to a Kol Zimrah performance 10 years ago, saying he thought I would enjoy it. Because of this invitation, I joined this choir! Alan was always reaching out in this way. We pray for strength for his dear family. May they be blessed by the wonderful memories of Alan, and his tremendous contribution to all he knew. Alan really succeeded in repairing the world!
