Alan lived right near me on academy street. My brother and I would hang out at his house and in the back was tedford/ sunshine dairy. I have collected some of those bottles in recent years. He was a great kid and friend of mine at highland park school. So sad to hear of his passing.

Al was a mainstay behind the scene at Paint n' Powder and Sock n' Buskin productions. Later in life our paths crossed when both of our sons were involved in scouting in South Windsor. My condolences to his family.
