Shirley, Sheila, Stacey, and Nikki … May God comfort you in this immeasurable loss. Alan was truly one of a kind, a Burgen neighbor and good friend who always helped in a moment of need. With that Alan smile! His joy was a gift. He will be missed. Love, Lou
Shirley and all of your family,
I am so very sad Alan has left this world. He will always be in our memories and hearts as we remember his laughter, generosity and kindness.
It was our privilege to have him in our lives through the marriage of his daughter, Sheila, to my son, Ty. That brought Shirley and the whole family into my life, which is a gift.
God be with you all.
My heart goes out to all of you.
God be with you🙏
My heart has been breaking for all of you! I loved Alan like a second Dad and will always remember his infectious smile and his great hugs! He will be missed forever! My thoughts and prayers are with all of you and I love you all!!
So sorry for your loss 😔 I worked with him at Save-a-lot.

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Alan from our high school days. He was 2 years ahead of me, and one of the few Juniors and then Seniors that actually would acknowledge the underclass students. Alan always had a smile and would hold a conversation with anyone willing to participate. May Alan rest in peace and may you and all your family find comfort in knowing he is with our God. I offer prayers for so many of those that have left us.
Shirley and all of your family,
We are so very sad Alan has left this world. He will always be in our memories and hearts as we remember his laughter, kindness, enjoying his beer in the porch. Remember when we moved for the first time , you and him were the first one to welcome us and introduced to us . I always will remember him , cutting the grass, and cleaning in the snow days , now is time to remember all the good moments, memories , adventures you spend with him as a husband, dad , family vacations, priceless memories, and know that he’s way better .and no more pain, he knows God will give you and your family the strength to keep going .
Our hearts are with you and your family, prayers as well.
So sorry for your loss. R.I.P. in peace Sweet Angel fly high prayers and Condolences to family and friends 🙏 🧡.
My deepest sympathy to all. May God hold your hearts close during this difficult time.
