  1. We’re friends with Alan’s wonderful brother and sister-in-law, Dan & Shirley, in Arizona. Our deepest sympathy to you all as you deal with your grief in the days to come. Prayers….Love, Char & Rich Harms

  2. Alan once told us about eating his first fried shrimp. He was riding around with some guys and they stopped at a drive-in restaurant. He noticed “Shrimp” on the menu and asked, “What are Shrimp?” The guys told him they were good and that he’d like them. So he ordered fried shrimp, and when he had eaten about half of the order; one of the guys in the front seat said, “Hey Al do you like the shrimp?” He said, “they’re pretty good but the tails sure are tough!” We always think of Alan when we have fried shrimp. That was our brother-in-law, Alan; a good guy and always a pleasure to spend time with.

  3. Al was part of our family, always kind hearted and fun to visit with. Spent many weekend and summer holiday afternoons on our deck having a beer, grilled food, and good times. Gonna miss him.

  4. OH how I will miss Alan. He was always my older cousin, who knew everything. I always looked up to him for answers. He was a kind and very loving person, that was soft spoken with a heart of gold. May God bless all that knew him. luv Gerry and Marlys (Hoff) Farver

  5. I just happened to see the news of Alan. I know he was a fixture around Argusville and will be missed. May he rest in peace. I’d like to send best wishes to the Hagemeister family.

  6. We will miss visiting with you Al! You always had a smile on your face and a kind word to share!

  7. The crooked smile..the sense of humor..the kindness..and even the meals always “coming out even”!!

    You will be missed but no good-byes (Deanna told us long ago that you both hated them).

    It brings peace and a little joy to know you are once again, Alan & Deanna.

    We loved you. Dennis & Judy (Gullicks) Pelster
