Alan was always a joy to be around. His love for the WVU Mountaineers was always loyal and faithful. He was so kind to his nieces, nephews, and grandchildren. I will truly miss his happy face when I visit West Virginia.

Joyce, Sheila and I are very sorry to hear about Alan's passing. I worked with him in a couple of areas during his tour at DMV...Supply room with Bill Bostic and later at IRP with another cast of characters. What a great guy to work with, always willing to help. May he rest in peace.

Heart breaking. I am Alan´s 1st cousin. Even though we didn´t grow up together, we were about as close as best friends could be. I always loved Alan, Joel, Uncle Roy and especially Aunt Betty. I cherish all the memories I have from the time I had with them. My sincere condolences. He will be missed.
