Alan brought his wit, trivia questions, Wall Street Journal, and most of all his friendship to work each day at Ameristar. Thank you Alan for making my days brighter and a little more fun.

My deepest sympathy to all of Alan's family especially Jason and Crystyn. He loved you both so much. Will miss his funny stories the most. We connected the first time I met him and became good friend. Always made me laugh. Enjoyed our phone conversations and really enjoyed him at tax time. He was my favorite client. Rest in peace Alan, my good friend.
