So sad to have just learned of Al’s passing. Would run into Him and chat often. We just saw each other at Menards and had a nice talk and laugh talking about growing up in Sunnydale. He would talk with Lavonne whenever they saw each other a Mayo. We will miss Him.

Dear Swee family,


 


We were deeply saddened to hear of Alan's passing. Please know our family will hold Alan and your family in our thoughts and prayers. Alan was a wonderful person who brought so much love and joy to those around him, especially to my sister Anne. 


 


May the memories of his love and the impact he had on so many bring you much comfort.

We will sure miss Alan!! He became a part of our family several years ago when he was with my mom (Karen). Alan was always so kind to all of us and he always treated my mom with the love and respect that she needed and deserved.  Our hearts go out to all of the Swee family and all that loved Alan.
