Alan retired from Anchor Hocking Glass with 36 years of dedicated service.

Alan was a friend to all. He shared a lot of laughter and made many great memories not only with his family, but with his many friends. He loved bowling, golf, poker, softball, the Cincinnati Reds and the Cleveland Browns. He enjoyed working at the U.S.E.P. bingo hall in Reynoldsburg and loved the people very much.  He cherished his time at home in Somerset with Melissa and their two cats, Ava and Carly.
