I heard today from a co-worker of Alan’s that he passed away on July 15th. Is there anyone else on the board that was a local friend / acquaintance of Alan’s that can confirm this?
While Alan could be provocative on this board, he was a good friend and we enjoyed many of the same wines. He will be sorely missed.
Neal, I am also disbelieving of this. Alan was a dear friend. I was hoping that there was someone in Chicago that knew Alan locally that could provide confirmation.
I still remember the thread he created trying to oust me as a moderator. But the way he phrased his poll answers was the opposite of the question being asked initially.
Typical Alan.
Tough to see someone anyone go. Looks like he would have turned 55 this August.
