We had not heard from Alan in a long time,GEM was also wondering what had happened to him. :(

He was a warrior indeed. He never stopped trying hard and harder. He was in my classes many times in the not so distant past and he would never quit.

Always a smile, a compliment, friendship, help any way he could.

Gave so much of himself on the legal forum. Nobody else with a law degree would ever step forward to educate us in the ways that he did without a complaint.

So sorry to see him go...wish I could have said 'so long' in person. :cry:
