I knew Alan for many years ( he was about 22 when we first met). He was the most gentle person I ever met. If any one could have gotten him mad, it would have been me.He never once said a bad word, or got angry with anyone. I learned alot from him.The world just took a step backwards. Alan, you'll surly be missed by all that knew you. Chuck B

My condolences to everyone. What a good guy. I worked with Alan for years and he was one of my favorite people. Always thoughtful and respectful of others with great workplace skills. Our thoughts to his friends and family from his co-workers in Washington D.C.

The truck driver is my brother-in-law and unless you know the whole story, you need to keep your nose out of it. There were 2 witnesses to the accident and Mr Brant did cross the center line. Also, if there were reports that the truck driver had ran other vehicles off of the road, do you not think that the police would have investigated that? That's because there weren't any reports...he is a very good truck driver. The truck driver was not physically hurt over this, but mentally, he is very hurt. The sister-in-law of Mr Brant has talked to the truck driver and the family isn't upset at him because they knew it wasn't his fault. To the family of Mr.Brant, I am so sorry for your loss. May God be with you through this time.
