"Working with Alan was a joy. He was a pure professional.
Always knew his lines and was capable of improvising at the last minute. Many
times, just before the take, we would whisper to each other what we were going
to do in the scene. No rehearsal, we trusted each other. Every once in a while
we would get a crew member to burst out laughing, ruining the take. This is the highest compliment. We knew the audience at home watching would laugh too."

"As I look back on those years working with Alan, I realize more and more, it
was a special time. We had great fun together and he made the work seem easy.
He brings a smile to my face even now."

Often referred to as the Laurel and Hardy of their day,
Bob and Alan had a special relationship that lasted all
through the series and beyond.
Alan was a gentle giant, who
took great care never to hurt
Bob during any of their much loved physical schtick, which
included hammock gags and
numerous whacks at Gilligan with his famous Skipper's hat!
This picture was taken when Alan guest-starred on Bob's series,
"The Good Guys".

After his death on January 2, 1990,
Alan's ashes were scattered in the Pacific Ocean.

We Miss You, Alan!
