He left this world wanting people to remember him for who he was, not what he had. He left behind a world of people who have some great stories to tell. Beautiful memories to hold on to. Knowing that his love for music will be remembered when a song comes on, his loud raspy voice will always be singing along. When his brother-in- law goes to weld the doors on his next demo car, Alan will be there. His friends will forever miss Allybubby and his goofy ways, his phone calls that would last for hours… One last 4 wheeler ride…these were the things that Alan had… Memories with his family and friends.
