Sending you my deepest condolences and prayers for the loss of your husband, father, grandfather, uncle, cousin, friend and all around great guy. Lives diverge and we certainly don’t see enough of each other; one thing I know of this (Our) family stands for is our devotion to family. I have many, many wonderful Memories of times growing up & spending time with my grandparents, Nana Lily & Papa Herman Opas, my parents David & Arlene, and many aunts and uncles cousins and friends. I adored my cousin Alan, & will always remember him with a quick wit and a twinkle in his eye with much fondness and love in my heart. I’m sorry I can’t be there today, all my thoughts love and prayers will be with you all. May Alan Rest In Peace and may you all stay strong and be there for each other. Forever in my heart. Blessings to you all, Robyn Ray

Les and I knew Alan through the Model A Ford Club. He will be sorely missed. Our deepest sympathy to Susan and the family.

To the entire Bennett family. I am truly sorry you lost your husband, father, grandfather, uncle at such a young age. I must say that I truly enjoyed working for Alan at AOP in the Marina and again in 2009/2010 when the company was in Canoga Park. I also enjoyed getting to know his kids, Lori, Mike and Scott. You are a strong family and I truly admire your strength. To Mrs. Bennett... we only met a couple of times but I know that you stood behind him and raised those kids when he was working hard building AOP in to the company it became. I was deeply saddened when I realized from Lori's posts that he had passed away. I wish I could be there with you on Friday but I am unable to attend. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. XXOO to all.
