Alan has wished for no public gathering and only to have a priest and minister say words during a private gathering of the family. He wants his family, loved ones, and friends to know he was only human and tried to do the best he could. He felt blessed to have the life he did and carried his regrets with him knowing life is hard and humans are not perfect. He battled depression and doubt but always had faith in God. Instead of flowers and gifts he has requested donations be provided to St Jude Children’s Hospital. For family and friends who think about Alan’s musical taste which was diverse and broad, the following have meaning of his passing: I Did it My Way, It Is Finished, Don’t Let the Old Man In, Help is on the Way, and God on the Mountain.
