Becky, my deepest sympathy to you and your family. Both of my sons were in Alan's gym class at Waterville Elementary School in the 70´s. They were so fond of him. He made all the activities so much fun, plus he encouraged all his students with his motto "do your best."

Becky, Bob and Anne, I am so sorry for your loss. Alan and I worked together at Waterville Primary and I will always remember his gym motto of "Do Your Best". Alan touched a lot of young students´ lives as he taught not only at Waterville but also at Monclova. In his 30 years of teaching he helped many children to be their best. He will be remembered.
