Through work Allan and I reconnected. He had taken over his family auto supply store (Wornall Auto Parts) and we were always buying supplies to repair our company trucks. One day at work I received a call from his brother telling me he had some bad news and that Alan had passed away. It has probably been about 10 years ago now. (Anonymous submission)

During my return to KC in the 90's Alan and I had reconnected as did many of us who came for a while and passed thru until our next life assignment. Alan's family and friends were devistated at the time and here is another of those when I drive by the school that I think of.
