I had the privilege of working with Alan, "The King of pit 17" at MGM for the last 8 years. Alan was thoughtful, cheerful, funny, genuine and always a gentelman.
He never missed an opportunity to ask about my little girl, how I was feeling (last time I saw Alan I was 8 1/2 months pregnant) or about how things were in 'good ol' Algonac'.
I am so sorry I was unable to make the memorial service for Alan. His infectious laugh and his larger than life bravado, and his genuine thoughfullness made me feel that he was more than just a co-worker. Alan was such a wonderful man. I certainly wanted to honor him by paying my respects to him and his family, whom he often bragged about.

To Alan's family, my heart aches for your loss. He was so very proud of his family! Thank you for sharing this wonderful man with us. I am a better person for having known him. He will be truely missed!##imported-begin##Tracy Carnahan-Wilson##imported-end##

Grandpa, you will be greatly missed, there was not a day that went by that you would call me grandma, and nobody believed you. It was a pleasure being your friend and co-worker. I know how much you cherished your grandson's. I know you will be shining down on them.
I will never forget you, until we meet again.
Love,
MaryAnn & Mark##imported-begin##MaryAnn Rodriguez##imported-end##

I was with my friend Elaine the night she met Al. He was a very sweet and kind and funny man that is rare to find. Although I had not recently seen him I will remember the good times when I would visit him and Elaine. I am so sorry about his passing. My prayers are with you Elaine and Al's family. He will be missed.##imported-begin##Debbie Osentoski##imported-end##

Dear Alan, It was a real pleasure working with you at M.G.M. Although we didn't work on the same shift, you always would say hello to me and ask me how I was feeling when we passed each other by. I never knew you had an illness but yet you took the time out to ask me how I was doing with my ankles. I now realize what kind of a gentleman you really were. One that cared for others more than yourself. Dear Alan, my sympathy goes out to all your loved ones for they must know how wonderful a man you really were. Til we see each other again, Rest in Peace.##imported-begin##Phillip LaColla##imported-end##
