Dear Medansky Family,
I am so upset to hear of the passing of Alan. I was a friend of his growing up. We lived around the corner on Suffield Ct. Alan was always the smartest and nicest kid in the neighborhood. I will always remember him fondly. My deepest condolences to the family.

I was saddened to hear of Alan's passing. I was aware that he was ill since I am good friends with Jan Epstein Speigel and we keep in touch. Jan and I spent a lot of time talking to Alan at the 30th Niles North Reunion as did my husband Marty who knows Alan from a cruise back in high school. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Dear Medansky Family,
My condolences to you on the passing of Alan. Alan and I were friends a long time ago at Niles North HS in Skokie. For a very short time, we had a garage band in which Alan played sax and I was the drummer. We lost touch after freshman year at UIC. He was a good guy. I know he will be missed.
