i also Was saddened by hearing the news of alans passing    in high school he was always fun and a great dancer...funnily enough, i ended up living on the same street with he and glenn golenberg for sevral years and we reconnected ...i would see alan from time to time and he always had a big smile and said everything was great..a year or two ago, i ran into him at a restaurant out in moreland hills and pepper pike and he was obviously not well but said i am doing great... 

 

it is difficult to see old friends disappear one by one....what a great time it was in those years and the memories are indelible

Alan will be missed and fondly remembered. We had some really great times together at Shaker. I saw Alan many times over the years and he always had a smile. I’ll miss seeing him

So sorry to hear about the death of Alan Kogan. He and Tobie were wonderful neighbors and friends I spent many nights having dinner with them and their children as well as many evenings chatting with Alan’s mom. I know he will be greatly missed by everyone whose life he touched

I am very saddened by the news.  I know he was having serious issues and we communicated weekly.  But to loose him is a terrible loss.  Our friendship dates back to Junior High School.  We were not close in the past 10 years but we always spoke on birthdays and holidays and comminicated via messenger.  May he rest in peace.

Dear Alan...

He and I grew up as next-door neighbors and great friends in our Lomond School neighborhood.  We played our kid games together and with the other local kids out in the empty lots where houses hadn't been built.  (I remember his house being built, the dirt for the basement removed by horse-drawn carts.)  He and I had our little hide-away in his garage, spent endless hours in his den watching t.v. (our family was a late-adopter), our parents led us as Cub Scouts, we wrestled in fun and rivalry, we were buddies.                                          Alan was chubby, I was skinny.  He gave me a long belt he could no longer wear, I used it as a tool belt until I recently salvaged the buckle onto another belt and now wear it to proper places.                                         We drifted to new friendship groups apart from one another in Junior High and High schools, and I moved out of Ohio. Alan has appeared in a number of my dreams over my more mature years; other than in my fantasy we have seldom been in touch.  I am happy to know of his life successes in family and business and friendships and synagague.  My sympathy goes out to those people from his later life who will also miss his presence.
