Alan was devoted to helping others and will forever be remembered for his wisdom, kindness, and bright smile that always lifted the spirits of those around him. The past year of his life was spent fighting an uphill battle against cancer. Throughout the adversity, he continued to lovingly support his family with the same spirit, sensitivity, and self-assuredness he exhibited throughout his life. A one-of-a-kind individual, he will be greatly missed.
