Alan has also faced his fair share of tragedies in recent years. Last year, he revealed that he had been diagnosed with a degenerative nerve disorder.
This diagnosis came after the death of his son-in-law, Ben Selecman, in a tragic boating accident in 2018. The loss of Ben has deeply affected Alan and his family, and they are still mourning his absence.
Ben was married to Mattie Jackson Selecman, Alan’s daughter. In a heartbreaking turn of events, Ben lost his life while trying to assist a woman onto a boat. Despite immediate medical attention, he passed away due to severe head injuries. Those who knew Ben describe him as a rising star and will deeply miss his sense of humor and dedication.
