I had the pleasure of working with Alan at Honeywell and ESG and we stayed in touch through his incredible journey that has brought him to a better place. The world has lost a good man and heaven has gained a great person.

My sympathies go out to all that knew and loved Alan.

Kind regards,

Alan Grayun is the father of my daughter-in-law Katherine. We only had the opportunity to meet Alan once at the wedding of Katherine and my Son Andrew French. I know that his legacy will be left in the Christian Faith that he testified to in his own life and in his children and my son as well. I am so thankful for that life lived. The most precious gift any father could give to his child is the knowledge that he was saved,that his children are saved and to share with many other what he Jesus had done in his life. May God reward his servant for those precious years he pushed through even when he was weak. I pray God Blessings and Covering for his family and look forward to the day that we will again have another meeting but in the presence of our precious Jesus Christ.
Sincerely,
Deborah and Daniel Vasquez

Alan was a coworker and friend since 1980 when I came to town. We played a lot of racquetball until his illness stepped in. He fought a brave fight.
