I have great memories of Al at Iowa State. He was a friend and a brother during our college days. Even though we went our separate ways he influenced me at a very important time in my life. I never got the chance to tell him how much he meant to me or to thank him for that. I know many people loved to be around him because he was genuine and honest, at the same time bold. His smile and the way his eyes twinkled when he laughed, he was easy to like. My prayer is that while he was alive he knew, at least a little, about how much he meant to us all. Please accept my heart felt condolences, it's with great sadness that I have expressed these thoughts.

Blessings to Alan and his family on this loss. The men of the Alpha-Tau Chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity in Ames, IA are missing a beloved brother and true friend.
Alan brought joy to the brothers with his deep commitment to the men in the house. This was a special time of year for him as I understand he always really enjoyed participating in the Gorevile Manor fundraiser, a haunted house for ChildServe.
Please accept our sympathy from all the alumni of our Chapter.
