"Brother & Comrade"

Although timelines are fuzzy in my mind (my memory tells me I have known Alan for roughly a decade & through our mutual friend Steve Izma) there remains absolutely nothing fuzzy about either the mutual solidarity & deep affection for my brother in militancy & solidarity or the deep sense of loss I feel personally. I have lost a dear, dear friend, & our society has lost a giant for justice. Alan combined academic brilliance, flavored by his commitment to the Student Christian Movement, & those principles of Christian Socialism it embodied. We met frequently at protests & over coffee to discuss the state of the world (good & ill). He brought to life for me this vibrant SCM through both his research & his personal journey within this incredible piece of our Canadian history, Therese, my heart goes out to you in your loss, but through your tears I hope you can celebrate a life that counted and that those tears become prisms of celebration as well.
