The great smile in Alan's obituary posting says a lot. That's an image that will always be in my mind. Countless visits between our families for birthdays, holidays, and milestones made for precious memories. To all of Alan's family members and friends, please accept my sincerest sympathies. Regretfully, I am currently in Colorado and will not be able to attend his visitation and funeral.

Message from Roger Cousins

So sorry for your loss.
I was in Clinton a week ago heading back to Marion and on the way back took the old highway 30 past the family farm. As I passed by I was thinking of Alan and the good times we had at high school and attending junior college together. Fun times I will always remember.
Prayers to the family left behind. Cherish the memories and the fun times you had together. Help each other to stay strong and carry on.

We are so sorry to hear of Alan's death! And so sorry that we will be unable to attend his funeral, as we will be out of town.
We have known his parents and grandparents when they were still alive. Jack helped pick his dad's corn when he got sick.
May God's blessings be with you all now and always!!

I had pleasure of being One of Alan healthcare workers for over two years. It breaks my heart to hear he is no longer with us. He was such a sweet, funny man. God has definitely gained one amazing angel ❤️ My heart goes out to all of his family and friends . He will be missed dearly.

But after awhile u become more tolorable to the surrondings . God will only give u as much as u can handle then he wont give u anymore.

Message from Tammy & Mike Collins

We were terribly saddened to hear of Alan's passing. I just saw him on Monday. I was on the same dialysis schedule as Alan. He and my husband had some wonderful (and long) conversations that would often carry over to the parking lot before saying good night. Alan was one of the nicest and interesting men I've had the pleasure to meet. Finding out that his late wife went to school with my family in Albia made him feel like family. He'll be terribly missed. Love and prayers to his family.
