of laughter. Family and close friends may recall the sound of his chipper voice
in the mornings singing "Lucky Old Sun".
After graduating from the University of Washington in 1957, Alan married,
settled in Seattle's eastern suburbs, and raised two sons and a daughter. He
later founded his own successful company, Inpac, a global manufacturer and
supplier of pipeline accessories. Over his company's 25+ years, he enjoyed
frequent business trips to Taiwan and China and his many friendships with
employees and associates across the industry. He remained active in his
company until his last days.
Though his company brought him many rewards, he talked most fondly of
memories of raising his children and of his time spent with his second wife,
Diane. In later years, Alan and Diane enjoyed dual residency--warm
seasons in Puget Sound and winters in various places in California--Santa
Barbara, Palm Springs, and San Diego.
Alan is survived by his two sons, Mark and Royce, daughter Lynne, grandson
Sean, and all the light he spread to others.
