He is predeceased by his father Aksel. Alan is survived by his wife Margaret, son, Brian, daughter, Lauren and his dogs, Tuxedo and Gerald. Mother, Birte (Victoria), Sisters, Vibeke (Martin) California, Julie (Dan) Washington, brothers, Paul ( Monica), Richard (Susan), nieces, Linda ( Ben ) Maryland, Madeline (Victoria), nephews, Michael (San Francisco), Garrett (Victoria) and James (Victoria), as well as many friends and colleagues.
