Hi Donna.
Sorry for your loss. It's always hard to lose a family member especially when you were distant for so many years.
Alan's daughter Sara was last living in Montana, married to Michael Whitney and they had two children. She didn't have a close relationship with her father unfortunately. The last phone number that I have for her is 406-260-1298.
Dianne Kooperman was a close friend of Alan's here in Oregon and took care and watched over him during his last few years. Her contact number is 503-970-3580.
I hope that this information helps you. Alan was an amazing friend and co-worker. We were all very sad to hear about his death. He will be missed.

It is with dismay that I learned of Alan's passing. We haven't seen each other in many years. If anyone can provide me with antidotes about my cousin or information on how to reach his daughter, I would greatly appreciate it. My father's name was Aaron John Shackelford. Alan's father was Vincent Shackelford. Thank you.

Alan was my colleague at CCC. He was fierce in his beliefs and loyal. I had hoped retirement would have brought better health, but we can take comfort in the fact that Alan still lives on earth in the acts of goodness he performed and in the hearts of those who cherish his memory.

I was very sad to hear about the passing of Alan. He was a very kind and nice man. He taught at CCC for many years and we were very sad when he retired. May the angels be holding him tight. ~Amy B.
