I HAVE KNOWN ALAN SINCE I WAS 11 YEARS OLD. WE GREW UP IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD. I KNEW HIS SISTER CAROLE, FIRST. HIS MOTHER WAS SUCH A NICE, QUIET, GENTEEL LADY, FULL OF GRACE. I REMEMBER NANA. I REMEMBER GOING TO THE RACETRACK IN VALKARIA WITH HIM AND FRIENDS. HE MARRIED ROSE, WENT INTO THE SERVICE AND WE LOST TOUCH. ENTER THE COMPUTER AGE & SOCIAL MEDIA. WE FOUND EACH OTHER ON MYSPACE, THEN FB. HE COULD MAKE ME LAUGH LIKE NO OTHER - HE HAD A QUIRKY SENSE OF HUMOR & COULD HAVE ME IN HYSTERICS. HE WAS AN ANIMAL LOVER WHICH ENDEARED HIM EVEN MORE TO ME. WE SHARED A GREAT LOVE OF OUR CATS. HE WAS ALWAYS SO KIND AND GENEROUS TO ME. HE COULD DRIVE ME CRAZY TOO, BUT IT DIDN'T MATTER - I COULD NEVER BE MAD AT HIM. I'M SO SO SORRY THIS HAPPENED TO YOU, ALAN - I WISH YOU COULD HAVE LIVED LONGER TO ENJOY YOUR RV'S. I AM GOING TO MISS YOU TERRIBLY. WHAT A SMART MAN ALSO - KNOWLEDGABLE ON MANY SUBJECTS COULD FIX ANYTHING. WE JUST SHARED A VERY SPECIAL FRIENDSHIP & I LOVED HIM WITH ALL MY HEART. MY CONDOLENCES & SINCERE SYMPATHY TO THE FAMILY & HIS PARTNER, FAYE.
