    Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Al was a great friend for over 30 years. We enjoyed many softball games together on the St. Joseph Hospital Softball team. I'm sure Al is already getting a team ready now so when we all see each other again we will play in Heavens Stadium. A lot of great memories camping with the Murphy's back in the 80's and 90's at Eastern Slopes. We will miss you AL!!

    So sorry to hear of Alan’s passing. Enjoyed socializing at Stan’s with him. He was definitely outnumbered (men/women) in the lab. May you find peace in the memories he left you with.

    My sincere condolences to Alan's family and friends. Alan was a loyal guest for many years at my family's hotel at Hampton Beach and he was always more than just a customer -- he was a friend. It has been years since my family sold the business and I worked there, but I fondly remember spending countless hours chatting with Alan in the lobby after he has spent a day at the beach. I recall that he always spoke of his children with a twinkle in his eye, loved music, and (if my memory serves me correctly) had a bit of weakness for evening ice cream runs when he was at the beach. May Alan's memory be a blessing to all who knew and loved him.
  • 2021-08-10 18:19:48 | Shannon (Fraser) Greenwood  - Gone too soon
    Alan was a kind and gentle soul that left us all too soon. I’ll always remember him as the man who loved his oldies and to have a good time. He loved his family and my heart goes out to to all of you. His spirit will live on every time the music plays.

    Our deepest sympathy to Alan’s family and especially you Lori. The river will not be the same without Alan and his music. The music was great and the stories he told about the music was just as entertaining as the music itself. He was a friend to all and we will miss him dearly. Sincerely George & Mary Lou
