Throughout his life Alan had several successful careers in Commercial Real Estate, Electrical Contracting and Home Remodeling and Construction. His true passions were baseball, cars, animals, landscaping and garden design, and traveling. He loved history, and greatly enjoyed friendly political debates. He was a compassionate and generous man, a true and treasured friend, a great listener and easy to talk to. The wealth of his many friendships (many life-long) were well seen by how people were always drawn to him, his kindness and sweet demeanor.

His love of family was his greatest true love. He touched many lives and will be dearly missed by many.
