Alan was our big brother, small in
stature but he had a big heart and cared deeply for
others. He was friendly to everyone and always
greeted you with a smile. He enjoyed bowling,
soccer, floor hockey and his favourite team the Montreal

experiences in the summer at Camp Tidnish. Alan was
a proud Special Olympian, competing in many sports for over 50
