Alan was born in Canandaigua, NY on March 6, 1957, the son of Louis & Arlene LaDue Rossi. He was a member of St. Patrick's Church, Seneca Falls, was a graduate of the Rochester School for the Deaf and had attended Monroe B.O.C.E.S.

Alan was an avid car enthusiast and was one of the finest antique auto restorers in the area. Many of the vehicles that Alan had a hand in restoring were featured on the Glidden Tour of fine automobiles, sponsored by AAA. For the last 21 years, Alan had been employed at Bill Cram in Seneca Falls. Prior to this, Al owned his own shop called Town Line Auto Body in Canandaigua NY for nearly 20 years. He did full service collision work as well as restorations on antique and classic cars and trucks. During the years he ran his own shop he was well known for doing not only high quality work, but a lot for others out of the goodness of his heart free of charge, from putting air into kids bike tires to helping local car enthusiasts and race car drivers/owners build and repair their cars in his shop often at little or no charge. Al taught and inspired several family members his skilled trade, who now teach them to others. His legacy will live on. Alan should be remembered as a person with a kind loving heart who always helped others and his passing leaves a large void in many lives. He was very loved and will be sorely missed.
