He always loved the loudest and brightest fireworks. Alan loved his video games, from StarCraft to Assassin’s Creed. He made many friends all over the world. He spent as much time as he could with his grandkids. Eli would talk video games with Papa nonstop. Korralian was his “pretty, pretty princess” who loved learning about Bigfoot and aliens.
