Elaine, Suzie, Wendy, and Mimi,
Tracey and I have such fond memories of all of us growing up. Alan was the first "Room Mom" we knew at elementary school. He had a great smile and a great mind. We will miss him and send warm hugs to all of his "girls."

I believe that children are a reflection of their parents, and I've known Mimi for years.
Although I never met Allen, I know that he must have been a beautiful person.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Love and condolence to Elaine and family. I worked with Alan as his PT and grew to truly admire and love him. He was a one of a kind man. He spoke of his family and wonderful wife with such incredible love and passion. It was a true honor to know Alan. He will be greatly missed.
