I have had the privilege to have known Al as a close friend of our family since 1969. Al was the best example of a true gentleman and loved people. Al saw the best in everyone and never hesitated to offer help. He will be deeply missed.

Alan lived a long and exciting life. I had the pleasure of watching the romance between Alan and Tracy bloom and enjoyed their company over the years. He will be missed but will live on in the hearts and minds of everyone he touched.
