On New Years Day, Alan Dildine passed peacefully away at his simple country home, surrounded by his loving canine companions. Alan was a loving, devoted and generous father and friend. Embracing the simple life he loved so much, Al selflessly gave all he could to his children, grandchildren, family and friends. His generosity, coupled with this unforseeable  tragedy, has left little financial means for his final arrangements. Any contributions to help the family in their time of sorrow would be a tremendous help; helping to "pay it forward" just as Al always did.
