Alan graduated from Vestal High School and Pennsylvania Culinary Institute. His love of video games didn’t take away from his need for perfection in the kitchen when at work. Food was a passion. He had a love of books, mostly fantasy and science fiction but especially Robert Heinlein. And he not only did the NY Times Daily Crossword, but made several puzzles of his own
He will be sorely missed by those who love him.
