Doran & Cripps

07/25/2023

Doran & Cripps alumni got together this past weekend to honor and pay tribute to our musical partner and friend Alan Cripps. It was quite a remarkable afternoon of Music, Friends, Laughter and Memories. Again...many thanks to Marianne Gissler for all her work to make it happen. Thanks also to all those friends that jumped in to give their talents and helping hands to see the 'Celebration of Alan's Life' such a success. We'll all meet again my Friend when the circle is complete.💙

It's with a heavy heart and aching in my soul that I have to announce the passing of my friend and musical partner Alan Cripps. I swear....things are gonna be lonely around here without his smiling face and incredible talent. Thank you for the time and the place brother. God Speed Alan to everlasting peace and contentment in the sweet by n' by.
