Our friend, Alan , passed yesterday( May 7, 2020) after a long battle with cancer. He retired from Honeywell and pursued his passion....photography. Many of his landscape photographs were published in Arizona Highways Magazine. He also conducted photo tours for Arizona Highways Magazine.

Al was my FRIEND all of high school.. if it were not for him I would not have been introducted to the sport of gymnastics which I gladly enter my 58th year comittment. We just ended up doing things together in high school and then after.. whether we skiied together in Colorado or floated down the Namakagon River here in Northern Wisconsin we were FRIENDS.. time would pass between talking and years at times between seeing each other but never did it matter.. it would seem like nothing. He was an incredibly gifted person, electrical engineer who developed instrucmentation for Boeing 757 and 777 aircraft.. developed 7 patents for Honeywell and always enjoyed taking trips to Antartica, Europe and the US.. when computers arrived he loved to help "seniors" how they worked and then used the new cameras to take wonderful pictures.. He will always be my FRIEND to the very essence of the word!!

Thanks Marti and Gerry. I remember Alan fondly. He was always friendly and warm to me - even after high school when he and I would occasionally contact each other. I hate hearing how we are losing such special people. And the comments bring back some wonderful memories. . .

Thanks, Gerry, for these details of his career and personal life. What an interesting combination of engineering and photography. So sorry to learn of his long battle with cancer.

I, like all of you, am saddened by the loss of one of our classmates.  For me this is especially true as Alan was a long, long time friend.  

 
Many of us who knew Alan feel an emptiness, in addition to our sadness, at hearing of his passing.  We knew and enjoyed his friendship, his humor, his sardonic wit and, of course, his warm embracing smile.  That is why I attached this picture that captures Alan's smile and the warmth and glow he shared with us, as well a how I personally wish to remember him.  
 
Alan and I experienced a variety of moments over the many decades we shared from those youthful road trips to the Dunes in the spring & summer, to the times I visited him at the University of Illinois, our road trip along the back roads to and from Montana, Wyoming and Colorado, our humbling (kind of like George Costanza “shrinkage” moment), with the then laughable encounter we had when we were passing 120 of the Hells Angels on Interstate 70 in the middle of Nowhere, ~~~~~~~~~~~~and finally my big surprise when I found him working at Honeywell Aerospace on Bell Road in Phoenix, my biggest customer then. There, he was a Principle Engineer working on Avionics and I was a subcontractor to the corporations site. We would transition from professionalism, his designing and ultimately building components during the working day to sharing both the humorous past and present events in the evening with the diverse journey that was our respective lives.
 
The picture below was taken at our 50th All School Reunion. Alan’s smile here with Jane and Renee is how I wish to remember him.  My hope is that all you will also remember all that went with that smile, as we honor ALAN, our Classmate~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ and OUR FRIEND.

Oh Wow, Paul.  Thank you for that. Brings tears to my eyes - you and he shared so much. And how wonderful to interact with him in Phoenix - the small world thing is powerful. And of course I love the photo. Memories . . . thanks and hugs to all

I didn’t know Alan that well in high school, it’s always sad to learn of one  of our classmates passing away. I’m so sorry he had to suffer with cancer. Paul, thank you for sharing Alan’s love for photography and his contribution to aviation. United was one of the first to get the 777, great to know he was part of rolling out that  aircraft. RIP Alan

Alan paid me a visit during his driving trip through the SE USA.  This photo was taken in October, 2007.  Over the years we exchanged some great emails.  I really appreciated his wry sense of humor…he gave me a lot of smiles!
