Alan was born on December 17, 1928 in Kunkle, PA to Forrest and Arlene. He graduated from college with a degree in business. He married Marion, his high school sweetheart in 1949. After moving to South Florida, Alan began working for Marcal Paper Company as a paper salesman. The couple welcomed two children into their home. Alan’s children remember him as the perfect father who encouraged them to succeed in everything they chose to do in life. He was blessed to spend the last 14 years of his life with his loving wife Elsie. They always made each other laugh.
Alan was an avid hunter and boater who taught countless family friends how to waterski. He was a well-travelled individual who has been to 44 states. He loved his family and always put them first. One of his favorite things was spending time with family.
