He worked at Goodyear Aerospace in Akron, Ohio for 13 years, Dixie Cement in Wilmington and Knoxville, TN, and retired from Koch Industries in Wilmington.
There was no place Alan would rather be than the coast of North Carolina. He was happiest when surf fishing, camping, boating, and sitting on the beach with family and friends.
