I met Alan through youth baseball. He was always friendly, always rational and always had his heart in the right place. There are hundreds and hundreds of parents who never met him that owe Alan a huge thank you for his service.
Amytime I would see him elsewhere he was as friendly as can be.
I was very appreciative to have know him for the short time I did. The community lost a good one.
