Thinking of your sweet family at this time. I remember Papa I think I remember Evan and Zach calling him when he and Nana would visit . Mr. Rubin would share his photos of Julie's marathon events while running with me on occasion. He loved his family dearly and was very proud of them all. He will truly be missed.

Alan joined our Sunday morning golf blitz about 4 years ago and we were all amazed at the game this skinny little 80 year guy had! We play at the Savannah Country Club, a 1927 Donald Ross design, which is easily the toughest and most challenging golf course in Savannah. Rarely shooting out of the low 70's and keeping a prog in the high 20's, Alan quickly became a favorite to team up with! I would ask through txt messages on the Saturday before the blitz who wanted to play and it was normal for the players to request Alan be on their team....Not only could he play lights out right up until the end he had that Charleston wit we all wished we had...he was full of one liners but could back it by shooting low and out of the 12 to 16 players on a regular basis, Alan was always a the top....my heart is broken at his loss as I personally bonded with Alan and considered him more than a golf buddy..he was my friend....God speed Alan....I love you....
