Alan was a very special man. He was my Brother in Law, but to me he was much more. I knew Alan for almost my entire life, as a matter of fact I don’t remember a time when I didn’t know him. Alan was like a second father for my entire childhood, almost every milestone in my early life can be traced back to Alan somehow being involved. There was never a time when he could not be counted on for whatever I needed, for better or worse, Alan was always there to help me, guide me or rescue me. To this day I remember his work ethic and his generosity and try to emulate them, but most importantly I remember his big heart and his willingness to help others, I try to live in the example left upon me from him. He was not a saint, he made mistakes as we all do, but the man at the core was the best role model anybody could ask for. Throughout his life he touched so many lives, but none as much as his children and grandchildren. He was a very lucky man and he knew it.
If wealth could be measured in impressions left on others, respect of friends and a legacy of happy memories and a loving family, then I’d say Alan left us as a millionaire.
Rest in Peace Alan.
Love always,
Sal
