Alan was such a nice person. This past summer we saw him at The Greenwich Club. We talked about the past and growing up in Providence and Pawtucket. We always found Alan to be a kind and gentle person. He will be greatly missed by his families and friends. Our condolences to everyone!

Alan was a great friend and will be missed terribly, he left the world too soon
When we were children, our families were very close. I have so many fond memories, from my childhood, of time spent with the “Field twins”. When the family moved to Pawtucket, it might as well have been to Siberia since our time together was affected by “distance”. It has been a privilege to learn about Alan’s life as an adult. He had so much to be proud of and has left behind a powerful legacy. He was a man of great integrity and it is obvious that to him, family was everything. May you find comfort in his light and in his love.
Thank you for your kind remembrances
