Chris and Family ,
Words cannot express the sorrow we feel for your (our) loss. Alan was a good shipmate and, like you, we loved him too.
We only hope that the sincere sympathy we offer you will somehow ease your pain.

Lord this departed Shipmate with Dolphins on his chest,
Is part of an outfit known to be the best.
Please welcome him and offer him your hand,
As you no doubt know he's the best in the land.
And also heavenly Father add his name to the roll
Of our departed Shipmates who serve on Final Patrol.
Assure them all that we, who still survive
Will always keep their memory alive.
