Incredibly decent, caring and classy guy, especially to someone much younger who was looking for an adult who was supportive and kind.

I met Alan when he and Nancy and Jill moved into the house across the alley from us in Chicago when I was about 5. He always treated me more of an equal than the child I was and always had me call him Alan rather than Mr. Hirschfield.

Alan was always a gentleman, decent and kind and obviously loved his family.

Even though I didn't spend a lot of time with him, he showed me how an adult can and I think should treat a child.

Greatly missed.

I met Alan when I was a small boy and he had just started a family and moved in with them behind us in Chicago.  He was kind and generous and treated a child with similar respect and dignity one would treat an adult.  We shared a birthday.  He is always missed.

Sorry to hear about your father.
