I think of Alan often with fond memories. He was a very kind and interesting man. He had a love of airplanes and flying and he was very interesting to talk with and also to work with.
He and also his wife were a pleasure to know.

May your entire family be surrounded in love and comfort. I will never forget Alan's warmth and genuine smile. I remember hanging out in your back yard in Millcreek and he would come around the corner with that mischievous smile and a hug. What a wonderful and kind human being.
