Alan Kay was my mentor and friend. I will always remember his warmth, humor, and creativity as it shaped my life. My time with Rozansky and Kay gave me the knowledge to tackle any size real estate project without trepiation and with confidence of success due to Alan Kay, He was a terrific guy and I will really miss him.

I was deeply saddened to hear the news about the death of your father. My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. Whenever we spoke and a story came up that involved your father, I sensed a special vibe that emanated when you spoke of him. Although I did not know him, I knew he was special to you and he had a unique place in your heart. I hope the memories will bring a moment or two of joy to your thoughts everyday and help you through the days and weeks ahead.

So sad to learn of Alan's death. He and Dianne made a good couple---my heart goes out to all of their children and grandchildren as well as Dianne. Alan's death is a great loss not only to his family but to his old D.C. friends. My sincere condolences.

Mike, Donna, & Bryan (and Mrs. Kay), I just heard the sad news and am writing to offer my heartfelt condolences. It was always enjoyable to visit with your dad (and mom) in the kitchen after a rousing game of basketball at Merrywood. Your father was always so engaging and hospitable.

24 years ago,Mr. Alan I. Kay responded to a letter written to him by a 17 year old High School student. The letter was a request for this student to follow him during a "typical" day in the life of a developer. Mr. Kay was most generous and kind with his time and teachings. This simple act changed my life, and for that I am forever grateful. Mr. Kay was truly a very special person and I will always remember him. Mrs. Kay, I offer my deepest sympathy and utmost respect to you and your family.

I was hired to answer phones in Alan's office for just one week 35 years ago. I ended up working for him off and on for 20 years! What an adventure! I tell my grandchildren wonderful stories about Alan, Donna's Bat Mitzvah, Uncle Sid's adventures, hiding Michael's car and all the great memories I have of those years. I will remember him always. Dianne, may the love of friends and family carry you through. Alan will be missed by so many.
