Kyle and Megan,
I just learned of Alan's passing. I wanted to let you know how wonderful and helpful Alan was when Dad suddenly died in 2006. I don't know what I would have done without him.
Alan was such a good friend to Dad too, he took care of him during his difficult time as well.
Love to both of you,
Renee Smit
I first met Alan back in 2008 when my wife and I opened a bike shop in one of his buildings. I knew right away that he was a good guy. In the 11 years we had the shop it was always a pleasure to get a visit from Alan. He was such a rad dude, one of the coolest people I ever met. Very, very sad to hear of his passing today. Hope to see him on the other side.
Just learned of Alan’s passing yesterday. Had no idea Alan had been sick.
Alan and I were roommates in law school and thereafter until I got married in 1971. Alan was a true friend and we had a chance to reminisce at my 75th birthday party and exchange anecdotes about our younger years. Old friends are always the best. Both my wife Marsha and I will truly miss Alan.

So sad at
Alan's passing. Much too young. Classmates at Berkeley and friends for 54 years. Fellow hashers at the Theta house. Enjoyed visits at lunches and at the Haas Galas. Will be greatly missed. Best to Kyle and Megan.

I am so sorry about your Dad's passing. He was truly one of the good guys, I will miss him. This is Glenn. We met at the property on E16th St a while back. Your dad gave us a chance and rented to us. We were very grateful, but more impressed with the person my wife and I met in your dad - he was special and the world is lesser place without him I MEAN THAT SINCERELY.

Dear Kyle and Megan
My heart breaks for you both with this deep loss. I met Alan when Kyle was born and now Kyle must be a grown young man. Your dad was always so proud of you. Much love, Andrea Gilbert
