Alan was born on April 21, 1954, and cherished growing up in Rosedale. He loved to make others smile. He would always selflessly put the happiness of others before himself. All who knew him remember his sense of humor and kindness. He loved his family. He loved music, especially his favorite band The Kinks. He loved movies and TV shows and pop culture. He loved his pets (Lady, Lucky, Scruffy, Rebel, and Schnappsie), who he looked forward to seeing again at the Rainbow Bridge. He loved watching his grandkids play soccer. He loved life.

Alan will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him. He will be celebrated and remembered with enduring love.
