Alan Zukof, a Louisville native, died on February 10, 2023. He was born on February 16, 1955, the only child of Dr. Walter and Helene (Loeb) Zukof, and both preceded him in death.

Alan is survived by his partner, Debby Kennedy, including his Aunt Sharon Stone (Howard), Phil Loeb (Donna), Aunt Denise Zukof (Marty), and numerous cousins and extended brothers and sisters.

A special thank you to Drs. Michael Needleman and Dr. Gerald Temes for their support, friendship, and attentiveness.
