I am so sorry to hear of Alan’s passing. I know him since we had attended college together and know of his work in the theatre community signing fr the deaf. I had the pleasure of hearing him sing while he was in the choir at St. Clemens in Philadelphia. The heavenly choir will surely welcome him. Such a dear sweet man. Rest in peace my friend.

When Alan walked into a room, he had an undeniable energy that was incredibly engaging. Once you met Alan, you never forgot him. He was an expert interpreter and a professional talent.

Alan was a wonderful friend and mentor to me. As a Deaf woman, I never would have had the opportunity be an interpreter for a Broadway show without his support — and Candy Broecker-Penn’s support, too. My time spent with the Juilliard Interpreter Training program made some of the best memories of my life in New York City, and Alan was a founding cornerstone of that magnificent teaching forum.
