Dearest Ogilvie Family,
On behalf of my mom May Bowles Flunker and my sisters, Nancy, Julie, and our missing angels Gina and Granny Stella, we are deeply saddened by the loss of cousin Alan. We hope each of you can find peace and comfort through this difficult time.
Uncle Louie, Sasha, Kelly and Family. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I’m sorry for your loss. May happy memories bring you comfort.
There are things that we give to each other in life that we have no idea we have given. We touch each other in ways we can’t even imagine.
Alan you touched me, and I will never forget you.
I will miss you.

Kelly, Sandy, Don and the rest of the Ogilvie family,
Our apologies for not being there today; The twins are still pretty young to be sitting quietly through such solemn event, but we got a detailed account from my mom. It sounds like it was a beautiful memorial filled with Love and wonderful and joyous memories. It is truly a blessing to pass surrounded by your loved ones. Too many make that journey all alone. I’m sure that Alan knew all of you were there and your love gave him the courage to not be afraid.
May your best memories bring you comfort and respite from your grief, and may you and your family find solace in knowing that Alan has found the ultimate bliss; the troubles of life have fallen away. His love for you all will always be with you and is stronger than ever.
Prayers and love to you all,
Michael, Amy, Brandon, Atticus and Jackson McClure
Alan, we are trueley greatful for having you be a part of our lives.Our hearts go out to your family. May your wisdom live on through your children and your granndchildren God Bless.
Memories,
Alan was a long-time childhood friend and running buddy. We were like brothers and did everything together. Alan was my best man at my wedding and also my daughter Michele’s godfather. The moments I’ll miss the most is Alan’s bulljiving and playfulness. He was a kid at heart. He used to tease me about my studdering when we were in grade school and gave me a nickname of monkeytalk. I also remembered a time when Alan reached into his pocket when we were walking to a restaurant in Sun River and asked me if I wanted a sour ball. I bit into it thinking it was a sour ball but come to find out it was actually a lava rock he had picked up earlier. I almost chipped one of my teeth. We both had a laugh. I will also miss our many talks as I waited for my wife Rose to get off work. His place was where I spent alot of time. Those memories and many others will be with me forever.
To the Ogilvie Family,
We want to express our deepest sympathy for the loss of your loved one. We can’t imagine the hole that will be left in your hearts, but hope that our prayers and hugs will soften your sadness.
We will remember the good times of laughter and joy that Alan shared with us. His pranks and jokes not to be forgotten.
Alan, be at peace my good friend until we meet again in the place where there is no pain or suffering
Love Always,
My dear friend Alan, My family and I are deeply saddened by your sudden departure from us and our deepest sympathy and hearts go out to your family.In the few years I had the pleasure of your company we shared the best of times,from hunting mushrooms in the forest to dining Chinese in San Fran., skiing in the mountains, to a movie in Denver, from a taco stand in Cabo to breakfast in Honolulu, also working on your Mercer Island house was also a task as well. Thank you Alan for blessing me with your friendship and sharing so much of your knowledge with me, I have learned and benefited greatly from knowing you, until we meet again, rest well my brother
I was saddened to hear of Alan’s sudden passing. I was an old friend of his from our high school days. He was also godfather to my daughter, Michele Bautista Gibson, when she was baptized. Though I haven’t seen Alan in a few years I will always have fond memories of good old times with him, our friends and his brothers at his Mom’s house and the late nite trips to the neighborhood backyard rib joint. Remember that Don? My heartfelt sympathy to the Ogilvie family.
Sasha and Kelly, our deepest condolences on the loss of your father. Our prayers are truly with you and your family. He has truly left his legacy behind in his children as well as sweet Tia. We’re here for you whenever you need us.
Dad, now that you are gone there is a stillness in my heart.I love you. I miss you. Thank you for a wonderful and full childhood, I know you are finally at peace.
Love, Sash

My friend, Alan, was a loving, caring man whose heart and door was forever open to those who knew him as a friend. His love, encouragement, and support to the many of us who grew to love him as a companion, as well as a hero, will never be forgotten. He will be so very missed by us all. Peace to you my friend, Alan. You made a mark on my heart. N.
My thoughts & prayers go out to all of Uncle Alan’s family and friends. I am so very sorry for your loss. His life, although full, was cut way too short. However, I know if we all open our hearts we will feel his presence and continue to hear his laughter.
My heart & prayers goes out to all family and friends of Uncle Alan’s. He will be missed by us all. One of my fondest memories were when weMichele, Sasha, Kelly, Shay and myself would go and celebrate Halloween together @ Beacon Hill. Its funny how I go there now to go trick or treating with my ladies son, Jaden, althogh I live in North Seattle. I hope to share those great times with him and remember those times I spent with Uncle Alan.
