Alan and I met just two years ago at Electrosonic, both of us trying to get struggling efforts revitalized. His wit, wisdom, and insight (especially on the international level) were an inspiration. He was just a great guy and will be missed!

Wow, Deya and Alexander, I wish I could hug you now! I can't imagine how badly this is affecting every aspect of you're life. We, unfortunately, never really knew Alan, but it sounds like he was very brave until the end (as well as you)If there is anything I can do for you, please ask. Everyone at the store is trying to figure out how to help you out, just let me know. I would love your address!
Love, Diana

Alan defined professionalism for our industry. He was a close friend and someone whom I will always admire.
Beyond work, he was a devoted husband and a father like all of us would love to have had.
He leaves a legacy of that is wide and deep. Tragically, it seems the good die young.
