    Alan was a 6th grade student of mine when he attended MGMS. He was a brilliant young student who made a lasting impression on me.

    I worked with Allen for 7 or 8 seasons in Alaska. He was a great friend and he will be dearly missed. We shared many laughs around the campfire but not nearly enough. So long old friend!

    Great memories of playing music Alan. I will miss him greatly. I wish I knew he was back in NC so we could have caught up. Great guy. Great lead guitarist.

    I am so very saddened to hear of your loss. I had the opportunity to meet Allen only a few times when we were younger, but it was always a pleasure. You and your family are in my prayers.
