Farewell Bro. I was truly blessed to have known you, Alan, your mom, and rest of your family. You will be truly missed. My biggest consolation was to have spent the 3+ weeks with you in Angeles City, PI in Feb/Mar of this year. It was good. Thank you for bering my friend. Save me a barstool in Heaven. We'll continue the party if and when I get there. Love ya!
