Although I never got to dive with Alan we had many of conversations on diving, fossils, and artifacts at the Cypress Garden boat landing parking lot. He always had a smile on his face and you could tell right away how much he loved the diving sport. I always enjoyed seeing Alan, and truly miss seeing him on the river. Prayers To the family.

Alan was my manager at Boeing. He was fair and supportive. We had lots of fun building airplanes. He would get a kick out of us trying to get him to talk like Forrest Gump. Until we meet again sir.

I never had the honor of meeting Alan, but have close friends who did. I am a fellow fossil hunter & even though I never met Alan, I feel a great loss as well. Praying for Mrs. Devier & her family. May the eternal peace & love of our Lord Jesus Christ comfort you all.

I've known Alan for a number of years and he and I have had a many conversations of river diving and good teeth spots. On the river or at the boat landing he always greeted you with a big smile. And if Jimmy was with him we always had plenty of diving stories to tell. I will dearly miss Alan. RIP My Friend! Prayers and Love sent to Kim and Family.
