A proud member of the Navy Tin Can Sailors, he served admirably in World War II on the USS Ozbourn. After receiving degrees from Drake and New York University, he joined the family business, expanding it with his expertise in gems and minerals until his retirement at 92. The legacy of Jewel Corner continues with his daughter, Allison.
He was the patriarch of his family and his most cherished moments were spent with them. You could find him attending his daughters and son-in-laws softball games, as well as all his grandchildren's sporting events and theater productions. He had an unconditional love for the Mets, Knicks, Giants and Mallomars, not necessarily in that order.
He is survived by his daughters Leslie (Thomas) Hunt, Elizabeth (Jeffrey) Klotz, Allison (Warren) McReddie and his adoring grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Alan was predeceased by his brother and his son, Dr. Stanley Walker (Marcia).
A graveside service with military honors will be held on Tuesday, February 20th at 12:00 p.m. at Pound Ridge Cemetery, located at 15 West Ln, Pound Ridge, NY 10576.
Shiva will be following the graveside service until 7 p.m. Shiva will proceed on Wednesday, February 21, 2024 and on Thursday, February 22, 2024 from 4 p.m - 8 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, please consider making a memorial donation in Alan's memory to the American Cancer Society, the Veterans Administration, or the Rescue Right of Bedford, New York.
