My sincere condolences to the Johanson family. Alan was the classiest gentleman I ever met.  I nicknamed him the "Chairman of the Board" for the Broadway Diner. He held celebrity status there! My 12year old nephew was in awe of his array of cuff links which he told us he purchased at garage sales. When my nephew was preparing to graduate from HS he made me buy him a dress shirt with cuff links, "like Alan"! The most poignant evening at the Broadway was the  one when Alan told me the story of how he met his wife and courted her. It was like a Hollywood movie script! He loved his wife dearly. I called him every Halloween for his birthday. He sent me vintage Christmas cards for the holidays. He was so proud of his family and would give me updates on his grandchildren. He was a friend, mentor, and confidant. I will miss him. He is now reunited with the love of his life, his wife. Bless you Alan, may you rest in Peace! Hope they have a good bartender in Heaven to mix your cocktails.

My friend, I’ve known you since you were in high school with brother Bob. So, I guess that makes it more than 65 years. So sad to know you have left us. We talked this past Christmas season, and I was just telling neighbors about Thursday evenings in your folk's basement when Bob got out of the Navy, and I was able to come along. Our summer weekends at Jones Beach and the parties were always something to look forward to. All good memories as you and Pat were good friends. Rest in peace. 

So very sorry and heartbroken to hear this.   Alan has been a sincere true friend for all these years.   We talked not too long ago and shared many memories of when our kids were young and the fun times we shared at Jones Beach every weekend and their house at get togethers at the bar downstairs. Times that will never ever be forgotten!  May God bless him for the true friend, husband, father and grandfather he was to us all.  Rest in peace dear Alan....I will drink a martini just for you or maybe a gin and tonic like the former Jones Beach Days.  My sincerest sympathy and hugs to all of you.
