Alan and I were colleagues for many years. I have represented JEA on several tax matters and worked with Alan closely on those matters over the years. He sometimes reached out to me for advice on JEA matters, and we had many long conversations about the "right thing to do." He always touched me as the most sincere of individuals: sincere in his dedication to doing what is right and sincere in his devotion to his obligations (JEA, among others) and his loves (his mother and family). It was an honor to know and work with Alan. I will miss him.

As I sat in Mincha and Maariv services tonight I was stunned to hear the name of a lifelong friend since childhood called out for having passed away . Telling my 25 year life partner about his attributes  was  difficult due to so many positives.Alan was exceptional as a remarkeably kind ,gentle ,giving ,thoughtful and considerate person.It would be a considerable effort to address the vast contributions and generous acts he bestowed upon others.Suffice it to say , it is incredibly difficult to find such an impressive human being in society ,so selfless for the sake of helping others and the void that exists is profound. God bless the family and friends whom are at a great loss at this time and into the future, yet his presence in your lives large or small and all he has been should be comforting  I would pray.Sincerely, Dr.Richard Silverberg

Alan was a brilliant and kind man. He honored his family, especially by having dinner with his mother every evening. She cooked delicious food that he loved, giving her continuing purpose and the pleasure of his company. During Alan’s illness, she sat with him every day, comforting him. 

In his job with JEA. he was respected for making  difficult jobs easy and cutting through red tape to help customers.

His family and friends will miss his kind smile, his politeness and his company. I will remember his love for his family and his mother.
