Alan, you seemed to spread a twinkle of joy and warmth wherever you went and whatever the task. I feel so lucky to have met you, and privileged to be able to see some of your inspiring music therapy work. At colleague get-togethers, it was always just fun to spend time with you. It’s far too early to say goodbye, but you have brought so much happiness, connection and music to so many in your short time. Sending love and deepest condolences to all your family and friends.
