Wow, I've only just found this today. Been too many years since we last spoke. I'm happy to find out you found the happiness you were always seeking. You & I go to the way back machine, more than 45 years. I miss you my friend 💜 #descent #BlueOctober
Alan was my cousin but haven't seen him in many years. I am so sorry for his loss. I wish I could have found him sooner and connected with him. Prayers for the family. I'll always remember you.
My heart was stolen by my nephew, Alan, when he was a little blond 2 year old cutie and I became his 8 year old Aunt. As he and I grew older, I remember him arriving at my house every weekend riding behind his Dad (my adored big brother) on their motorcycle. When Alan was in his twenties, he came to work for me at the Ford dealership and we became reacquainted and built a closer relationship than ever before. I really looked forward to our conversations and was proud of his excellent job performance and work ethic. It was soon after that, that Jessi was born and I remember that Alan went from being the ultra cool "Bad Boy" to being a devoted partner to his Karen and a proud Dad to his baby son. In the years that followed I remember the pride in Larry's voice every time he spoke of Alan and his driving ambition and artistic talent as he learned glass etching and then paintless dent repair and then built his own business and became an excellent provider to his family.. I regret having let my life activities and out of state relocations get in the way of maintaining contact with Alan and his family, but I never stopped loving him. Rest in peace Alan. I was blessed to have known you and loved you.
A good friend that was always there. I'll miss you but know that you are always in my thoughts and heart.
A good friend that was always there
When Alan and I were kids he use to play what we called The Easter Egg Game. The "Eggs" would stand on the porch and mentally think of a color. The "Rabbit" would stand several feet away and and name colors until one of the "Eggs" started running for base, or the "Basket". If the rabbit got you before you reached the basket you became the rabbit and the rabbit became an egg. My little friend and I LOVED that game. So much so that years later I taught my own children the game when we had neighbors over. I told Alan this and he laughed, saying "You know, I made up that game so you guys would leave me alone." Being a girl, and 4 years his junior, I have no doubt that was the case. Yet not once in those carefree days of youth did I get the impression I annoyed him, though I undoubtedly did. All I knew was he was my older, smarter cousin that could do super cool stuff, like learn magic in mere minutes after getting a magic kit for Christmas. (Because we were NEVER going to stop our Grandmother from giving Christmas gifts, period.) What makes this memory odd is I haven't thought about it in years — Not since I mentioned it to Alan. Yet on Dec. 24th I was a my friends house, the one who played The Easter Egg Game with me, with and without Alan present. And this memory came up — Only to learn that at that very same time Alan's life was being cut short. As is always the case when a loved one is lost, I have lots of regrets. But I do know that Alan was happy. He loved his wife and his boys. And he seemed to be very good at both, Husband and Father. I only wish I had not taken time for granted and seen more of him over the years. May his wife and boys find comfort in the knowledge that they brought so much joy and peace to his life, for so many wonderful years, despite it truly should have been countless more.God's Speed Alan. My the love you have sown multiply tenfold with each generation. Sincerely, Your annoying little cousin, always, Phaedra
