My heart goes out to Kelly, Derek, Barb, and Wayne and Shawn. I was stationed with Alan and became great friends. I felt like a member of the Simms family, thanks to Alan. Alan made being away from home a lot easier while serving. I always enjoyed my time with Alan when coming back to Va. Beach to visit. Love and will miss you old friend. Definitely a man wth a big heart! May God bless you and keep you. My thoughts and prayers to his loved ones.
