We are very sorry to hear of Alan's passing. He was a great friend and business partner to my father, Alex. Alan and Joan continued to be great friends to my mother Maxine after Alex's passing. I will always remember Alan for his ongoing kindness and quiet dedication to the community. He was very proud of his family and always took time to keep me informed about the well being and doings of his sons. Rest in peace.
