Too bad we have to share our feelings on a website instead of with each other

I wanted to say I'm sorry to all of the Beck family and to my little sister for the terrible loss that they have endured. I started remembering the little things, like when I went to visit my sister and Alan he would always ask me about coffee and serve me and we would talk about all kinds of things, such as, his veggie garden or canning tomatoes. Sharing little tips that we learned. Anyone really close to Alan would know that he loved slipper socks. Whenever I received them as a gift or from a hospital, I made sure they went to him. He has touched so many lives within his line of work, but also to everyone around him. He was kind, caring, compassionate, and had a great heart. He deeply cared about my sister Brenda and no words could describe the love they shared. He will truly be missed by me and so many others. I just know he's in heaven looking down on all of us and most importantly my little sister. Rest in Peace.

What a nicely written recollection of how Alan spent his life as well as who was significant to him. Family always was a primary passion in his life. You could see the delight in his face as he watched the kids.
He took to heart those vicarious moments of doing something for the first time, conquering a challenge, or being unabashedly silly, things that we easily tend to forget about in the grown-up world.
Occassionally he had to be the parent and point the compass for a younger generation, as when he banned the word “Cup” from being spoken in the house. The younger generation will surely recall…
In service to his fellow man or woman, at any time, he also helped his neighbors, and often.
By choice, I have a lack of appreciation for anything mechanical or that smells of gasoline/ oil. One winter, while Rodney was on the road, Alan came over to prime the filter for our oil furnace, getting it up and running so that the girls and I could stay warm.
Another time found Alan in the ditch at night on his side of the road assiting the Amish man who had been run off the road by a big truck, again in the midst of winter.
I will never forget his wave… a caring soul, an endorsement that underscored the smile and heart.

I would like to offer my condolences to my litter sister and to Alan's family. I was just as shocked as everyone else to hear the news. Since getting the call I have thought about times Alan and I talked and laughed. Alan was always kind to me (and my partner at the time) and very polite. Alan went out of his way to make sure that I was comfortable during my visits. I remember watching Alan swinging an ax in the heat of the day; trying to get wood ready for winter. He worked really hard at his job and then continued his day working hard on the property and around the house. Alan and my sister talked to each other via cellphone all day long when they were apart. They both took care of each other when the other was sick. They argued with each other to go to the doctor rather than waiting till they were extremely sick. It was obvious to me that they had a deep love and caring for each other. Alan will be missed by me and so many others, but I know he will be remembered by many others that I'm not aware of. I pray that he is healthy and happy and resting in the comfort of the angels in heaven. I know that he will be watching over my sister, Brenda, because that's what Alan always did.

I am so very sorry to hear this. I met Alan when I worked at Goodwill. He was always smiling. He was a very caring, funny, and sweet guy. I quit Goodwill and came to work at SH Distributing and met his son, Alan. I consider it an honor to have met them both and am sending many hugs and prayers to the family. May God Bless you all.

Greg and I were so sorry to hear about Alan and then so sorry to have missed his service. Alan was a great guy. He was funny and kind. We loved seeing him drive into our driveway to tell us his stories. He loved telling us about your lives and adventures. We will miss him. We both hope that your family finds a way to find peace, through this awful time. Greg and Anita Barnhart
