I’m so sorry for your loss !
Maria, we were so sorry to hear about Alan’s passing. You have been in our hearts and prayers. If we can do anything for you, please let us know.
Love you
I first met Alan in 1980 or 1981. We spent many a happy hour playing Dungeons & Dragons and Traveler, talking about Star Trek, and driving around town in his Pacer. He was a good soul and the world is the lesser for his passing. May his memory be a blessing.
