The members of the Law Class of 1960 have very fond memories of Alan as a gentle soft-spoken colleague, universally liked and respected. He attended all our class reunions except the last one where his absence was much regretted. He was a most congenial and welcome participant at all our gatherings. You will know that as a lawyer he was held in the highest esteem. He certainly contributed an important leadership role as general counsel in the early development of Investors as a financial powerhouse. Alan was a true gentleman and it was an honour to be have been his classmate and friend.
