We are so sorry for your loss. Alan will be missed. We enjoyed getting to know him and having him in our home during his high school years at North. He was a kind, giving and thoughtful young man.

Richard, MeeWha, HyungSub Shim & other family members,
I am so sorry to hear about Alan. Although it's been years, the news sent me back to fond memories of the neighborhood kids and their spirited gatherings. I remember Alan as a gifted, delightful young man with a spirit uniquely his own.
Words, it seems, inevitably fall short — know that expressed outwardly or not, your grief is shared by many.
My thoughts are with you and your family.
