Whenever I make the bed I think  of Alan and all the conversations we had on the right  mattress and  Alan nailed it. Best decision ever made!  


Miss you already Alan and I just found out.  I am sure that you are in a better place and thank you for so many years of support. I will definitely save you a seat at every event I do and I am sure that we will see each other again. Thank you always for the insight and information you would always provide which only made everything that much better.

Dear Joanie and family,
Michael and I would like to extend our deepest sympathy to you. Even though Michael did not know Alan for a long time, we always had a great time when we got together. He was a very fun and happy person. We certainly did laugh a lot. We will miss our good times together.

Alan was a wonderful person and he certainly will be missed. I extend  my deepest condolences to Joan and the girls. 

Wanted to send my deepest sympathy to all of you. What a great man and now another beautiful angel who is surrounded by other familiar beautiful angels to help look down on us. 
  Sincerely, Howard and Teri. 

Alan andI became instant friends when we met at Realty One Lyndhurst office. We both were new agents( I started a year before him). We partnered on some deals and he was so great to work with. We both had young kids and did family things together. That is how then I got to meet his lovely wife Joanie and his two daughters Julie and Lindsey. We have shared life cycle events together and unfortunately now his funeral. He had a great sense of humor, he was kind and he adored his family. When his grandsons came along, he had such a smile on him when he talked about them. He will be sorely missed. Rest In Peace good friend. You are not in pain anymore and do not have to go through hell with treatments anymore. May your memory be a blessing to all who love you. Your buddy, Tamar Brosse

Alan was a rare creature --- a truly good person.  He had kindness and warmth in his whole facial expression.  I hear in our building how many of the residents and staff liked him.  Alan had a fine sense of humor and compassion.  He will be missed.

Dear Benjamin family, I am so sad to hear about Alan. We grew up together in Yonkers, living right around the corner from each other.  Alan was a wonderful and kind person, and a great friend. I am glad we were able to reconnect though Facebook, and I enjoyed seeing his posts. He was certainly proud of his family.  My sincere condolences to you all.

We have such fond memories of your visits to Cincinnati.Nobody could tell a story like Alan! Also loved his wonderful sense of humor.He will be missed. Love to the whole family.

                         Love,
