Allan always had a way of making everyone feel special especially me. He encouraged me so much and was a dear friend. There are so many great talks and memories I have with Allan. He said I reminded him so much of Jackie O all the time that he honored me by re-creating a photo he had done of her. He always encouraged me to shoot for the stars because he believed in me. I strive to look at the glass half full because of him. I'm so grateful to have been in his life. I can see his smile and hear him crack a joke in my head right now. He deserves love, peace, and rest in a beautiful place. Loving thoughts and wishes eternally. Amber

I remember Allan Adler from Grant High School. We spent the first year of our friendship in Photography learning about the finer points of the art. Allan would come over and we would work in my dark room until the wee hours of the morning. Several years after high school, after I proposed to my soon-to-be wife Sue, Allan honored us by shooting our wedding. In fact, our wedding was the first for Allan to shoot. Since I was doing wedding photography at the time, Allan's gift to Sue and me as the photographer of our wedding was very meaningful. We still have Allan's work displayed in our home. I was saddened that Allan was unable to attend our 40 year Class of 1976 reunion last September. A couple of months ago Allan and I exchanged emails, and about a week and a half before Allan passed away, he sent me a LinkedIn connection request. And since Sue and I just recently purchased a home in Arizona, I was hoping to visit Allan in Phoenix. I am saddened that I will not be able to do that, as well. Allan will be greatly missed. Sue and I pray for the comfort of the Adler family. God bless, Greg Yacoubian

At Grant high school we were lucky to have Alan photograph the sporting events. It was apparent this was his future. Basically, we had a professional photographer for all our events. Allen was very friendly to everyone. One day he came up to me and gave me a framed photograph of me that he had taken at one of our basketball games. I was surprised and very thankful. My parents loved the photograph and had high praise for Allen. He went on to be one of the best. My condolences to the family.

I met Allan when Blake was born !! Gena is my niece and she came to Nebraska so we could meet Blake and Allan !!! We had a great time !! It was summer went to the lake and stopped to get a drink and munches and some guy was in there and told me I had beautiful blue eyes and he called me blue eyes ever since !! Prayers to your Family ??

I met Allan at a photography get together in 2015. He invited me to join him in his Scottsdale studio as a co-tenant and we threw a Christmas party that year to celebrate our new venture. He could be stubborn as hell but he cared about quality and I admired that about him. He'd call me while he was going through treatment and I'd go see him in the hospital. He was constantly coming up with new ideas and sharing tips on photography even while there. Allan, I hope you're loving your new adventures and catching up with all those you've photographed who've passed on before you.

The thing I remember most about Allan was his drive... I took many photography classes with him at Grant High School with Dr. Bedouin... Hours and hours in the dark room learning techniques. Allan was kind of way ahead of most of us and that drive obviously reflects in his lifetime resume and body of work. If I didn't understand something in class, I would tag along behind Allan and watch the actual process from shutter to dark room and that truly was the greatest lesson behind the lens... RIP my friend Tom
