My Condolences to Alan's friends & family. I worked with Alan at American Air Filter in Moline,IL. during the 70's & 80's. His Dad, Lyle Janes hired me and was my foreman. His Mom, Phyllis Janes worked at our employee Credit Union which was located on the same sight as our factory. So I knew the whole family. I'm sure Alan is at peace and happy to be with his parents again! Rest in Peace Alan!
