There was nothing more important to Alan than his family. In his earlier years, Alan worked as a mechanic and took pride in his craftsmanship. He had a natural talent working with his hands, which also extended to his love of boats. He spent countless hours at the local boat shop, sharing laughs and making memories with his close friends. Outside of work, he had a deep love for playing pool. He spent hours perfecting his game and was a proud member of a pool league, where he built lifelong friendships and shared many unforgettable moments. Alan was also a true CB Radio operator and proudly went by the handle "Brown Mule" for years.

Alan will be remembered for his kind heart, unwavering dedication to his loved ones, and his ability to bring laughter and warmth into every room he entered. He leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, and cherished memories that will live on in the hearts of those who knew him.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that donations be made to the American Cancer Society.
