To say “everything is bigger in Texas”, holds true for Alan, he was a good guy through and through. Alan was the kind of guy who loved everyone and in return was loved by many around the world. He made many friendships throughout the hotrod industry. He collected countless miles driving across the states enjoying what he loved to do by either attending a car show or on a car tour. His talent for designing cars was unmatched, he did this with the best crew a guy could ever hope for. If he could draw it, he could make it. Alan was like ice, whenever there was a cooler and beer he was there, and the stories would begin. So, the next time you have a drink raise it to the sky and toast one to Alan.
