In recent months he began his own company, Verification Laboratories. Alan had an adventuresome and fun-loving personality that led him to numerous destinations around the world. He had an intense curiosity and knowledge about many different subjects, and he had an enormous capacity to communicate his knowledge to others. Alan leaves behind many friends in the Bay Area who loved biking, hiking and wine tasting with him. He is survived by his father, Alvin Wiemann, Dickinson, sister Kathy Sellie and husband Peter, Dickinson, brother David Wiemann and wife Teresita, Walnut Creek, California, brother Gary Wiemann and son Andrei, Elkridge, Maryland.
