In his civilian life, Alan chose to continue serving the local community and joined the Baltimore City Sheriff's Department and was a Deputy Sheriff until retiring.

Alan started his own DJ business in retirement and was known as "DJ Alan K."  He provided entertainment for many and varied events including Vintage Car shows, a particular interest of his.  Alan owned a number of vintage cars himself, including his beloved "T-Bird," and was generally into the 50's subculture.  He particularly enjoyed electronics and his passion was being a HAM radio operator.  He was "really into it," and found place of purpose in the friendship and comradery of the HAM Radio Operators global community. Alan belonged to the Severna Park Elks Lodge where he DJed and volunteered in various activities.  He was a cherished member and friend.

Finally, Alan is reunited with his  wife "Bunny," (2022) in his passing.
