He was a Supervisor with Newman Paper Co. of Philadelphia, Pa.

He served in the US Army Reserves for many years, and like so many veterans, viewed the opportunity to serve as some of the most rewarding years of his life.

Alan, known by family members as "Uncle Duke", was a thorough patriot, proud to be an American citizen. He was always ready to praise and debate the merits of the U.S. Constitution. Alan would talk with anyone, anywhere, anytime, about the rich blessings of U.S. citizenship and our American heritage.

He was an avid, life-long, outdoorsman, a hunter and fisherman who taught generations of young family members to enjoy the forests, streams, and oceans of the country he loved.

Late in life he’d also developed an avid interest in the slot machines at nearby Valley Forge casino.
