I have so many good memories of Alan while working with him for 23 years. He was always in a great mood and always the entertainer at special events. I will always have a special place in my heart for my friend. May he rest in eternal peace. God Bless you my friend.

Alan had a heart of gold and a tremendous personality. As was the case with my late wife Linda, Alan was always a party looking for a place to throw down and have fun. He always made others around him smile and feel comfortable and for that reason, amongst others, I am very thankful. I feel honored and privileged to have known and worked with him. But most importantly, I am honored to have had him as a friend. I know in my heart that God's face will shine upon him for all of the good that he has done during his short life here.
My condolences and prayers go out to his entire family. God Bless all of you.
