Alan died on Aug. 9. He was 92 years old. He passed seven months after his wife, Virginia Carter, died, whom he had been married to for 57 years. He had been in nursing home care for the last 3 years.

Previously, Alan and Ginny lived for 50 years in their home in Middletown. Alan was a lifelong artist, jazz aficionado, and avid fan of classic movies. He was a very sweet man with a smile, hello, and caring for all that he came across. He was not known to complain about anything ever. He was also a US Navy veteran serving in the photography lab at the US Navy Air Station in Pensacola, Florida, during World War II.

He spent decades with Ginny painting and selling their original paintings at summer art shows along the New England shoreline. They enjoyed summers in their cozy cottage with lots of family coming and going in Leetes Island, Guilford.

He will be missed by his many nieces, nephews, and their descendants. Arrangements in the care of the Guilford Funeral Home, 115 Church St., Guilford. To share a memory or leave condolences, visit www.guilfordfuneralhome.com.
