Dear Alan 
I still get questions from my students regarding the first time I visited the State, and I told my students that there was a very nice man who took me as one of his own and showed me around, making me feel as comfortable as I could while making jokes on every thing to make me feel less nervous on my very first trip to the State. I would never forget the first road trip I took with him and his son. We were on the highway to Philadelphia and decided to take a break in one of the diners on the highway. As strange as it might seem, when I, an asian man, his son , and Alan, the waiter  asked :" are these two your boys ?" Alen simply smiled and replied Yes! That was a very special moment for me because I felt included and welcomed. 
That's how Alen remains in my mind. 
He is a generous, kind, humorus, heart-giving, and brave man. He thought me more than any teachers and not even my own dad should have taught me in just one little summer, which was to laugh, to love, to cherish every moment in life. 
His wisdom is  in me and has always been,  and will always be. 
Thank you, 
Mr Alan Pursner 
for all the wonderfulness you brought to the world and shared with everyone around you even for just a brief summer . 
You have also raised a magnificent son. 
Thank you for being who you were. And now you stay in me for as long as I can hold down to those memories..

My deepest condolence reach out to the family. 
May hi Rest in Peace 

yours truly 
E.D.C



To all of you.  Allan was a light in everyones heart. As a father a friend.  It was always a great time when he, Marsha and all of you came to visit at lake Waubeeka.  He and I played basketball. walked my dog and went out to eat.  Yes you know Alan loved to eat!  After Eddie passed  he was a wonderful support calling me and visiting me often.  I wait for the phone calls that do not come.  I believe God sees his light and wherever he is his light will always shine on all of us. 
Thank you all so much for the care and support you have given him.
Love,
Cheryl
