So sorry to hear this. Even more sorry that I got word so late that I was unable to attend. I sort of fell off of the earth, so to speak, when we moved to Newtown and making the FCUG meetings become too difficult. To this day my car registration is FCUG.

Mr. and Mrs. Abrahamson are my next door neighbors. He was a very nice and respectful man that love a good laugh and his steak off the grill. I will remember him mostly when after his foot injury healed, how he was determained to get back in shape and he walked religiously. I will miss him on his riding mower and waving at me and my infant son as we played in the front yard. Zackary's first halloween when Mr. Abrahamson had a special candy for him. I am proud to have known him as long as I did. Alan will be greatly missed.
