Marie, Please accept our sincerest sympathy. My Mom, Eileen Gorman, often asks about you and your family. She will be so sorry to hear of Alan's passing.
Marie, I haven't seen either of you in years but still sorry to hear about Al. Enjoyed our times at my father's birthday parties on Morningside Ave.
A wonderful man. Proud to have had him as a neighbor and a Scoutmaster. Rest in peace, Mr. Cochran
Alan, I know you will be practicing your game of horseshoes. So be ready for me so we can have a rematch when I arrive, just inside the pearly gates. Miss You.
My Dad was a person who we all had present in our everyday thoughts.
From a family perspective, his actions showed us how to overcome difficulties throughout our lives.
He's left an indelible and special mark on my life.
RIP Dad.
