Dear Jonason family
I remember Alan very well . I first me Alan at EB , and from time to time I would weld different jobs for him on first shift . Then Alan went to Foxwoods and we ran into each other again . Alan in Security and I was in the cleaning dept . Different times Alan was in my Casino C-3 , and often he worked next to the section I cleaned . There was a phone next to where Alan worked so once in a while he would get on the phone and pretended to be a Chinese patron who was lost and confused looking for help . Alan did the Chinese patron to perfection actually making the person on the other end of the phone believe him , I couldn't stop laughing !
Alan told me he made walking canes for people and gave me a printed card of his business . I wish i had bought one of his walking canes when i had the chance .
Alan was just one of those people you meet and like them as a friend right away . My very deepest condolences to Alan's whole family at this time . God bless .
