Renee, Ivor, Eric, Gail, Kim, and Jeremy. I just heard about Alan, and I'm so sorry. I have fond memories of spending time with him in high school, we always spoke of music, arts, and interesting things. Sadly I wasn't in touch with him, as I am with Eric, as an adult but my memories of Alan at Bentley's doughnuts, or having a burger and sharing fries at Toby's are vivid and I remember a bright, engaging young man who always had something to say and something to share. As a father now myself I can only imagine how hard this time is for you, please know that I'm here, as I know many others will be, to do anything I can in this difficult time.

Dear Renee and family, I am deeply sad to hear the news of Alan's passing. He touched my life. I remember him especially during our 20's when we started hanging out around The Free Times Cafe, going for walks, and talking about all kinds of things about life. He was truly a special person and this was what drew me to him. I remember him as a sensitive, kind and sweet soul. Sending you my deepest condolences, my love, and my support at this difficult time. Kathy Goldman.

To the entire Simmons Family, I remember Alan when he was young, full of energy and joy and an absolute pleasure to be with. And I remember the last time that my family and I saw him and spent time catching up with him, at Brooke’s Bat Mitzvah. He was just as caring and animated then as he was when he was a little boy and, while life dealt him a tough deck of cards near the end, he didn’t let that get him down. My heart goes out to all of you at this time and into the future. Losing a son, brother and friend is absolutely horrible and leaves a hole in your hearts that can’t be filled. May the memories of Alan and his life grow warmer over the days, months and years to follow. Love from all of us - Larry, Jennifer, Jess, Carly and Sam

I am sorry for your loss. While I haven’t seen him in many years I have such vivid memories of Alan as a a happy smiling lovely boy from our time at Bialik and then as teenagers in Israel. Hard to imagine he is gone. Wishing you all strength and sending prayers in this difficult time.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I was friendly with Alan at Cedarvale and again on our CZF trip to Israel in the summer of 1986. He was sweet and fun and had a wonderfully wicked sense of humour. My thoughts are with you all.

Renee, Ivor, Eric, Gail - It is hard to express the sadness that I felt hearing of Alan’s passing, and that I feel now. For me, on our little corner of Ava Road, Alan was our leader, our big brother, our inspiration, and our source of creativity and ideas. His kindness and empathy, even at an early age, were advanced beyond most adults’. Renee, Ivor, I have no doubt that he left these seeds with your grandchildren. We were all lucky to have him. Our family’s heartfelt condolences and great love are with you.
