"Alan, the brother who I knew of from a distance as a kid, who lived in my mind as the legendary ?older brother?... I thank God that we got to know each other in these last 10 years. I miss our FaceTime chats, but I know you?re in a wonderful place! "
In loving memory of
Alan Jeffery Streeter

"I had the honor and pleasure of meeting Alan through our writers group. He immediately became one of my favorite people ? for his brains, talent, sheer ?life force,? and unique self. I will truly miss him. Vicki"
"We met in grade school. He was Streeter and I was Smith so the teachers always sat us next to each other in alphabetical order. He was the first kid to speak to me that first day of 1st grade! He was so kind and sweet to me I never forgot him and was delighted to be reacquainted with him 55 years later on FB. My prayers and condolences go out to the family. Rest easy my old friend ??, Heather "

"I was honored to attend a book signing from his recent book of Lullaby?s and love songs and funeral dirges. The dedication in the end was touching to say the least and so glad that Dale and Alan had such a special sharing. I?m very sorry for your loss."
