Alan Redinger passed peacefully into heaven on October 16 2012 after a long and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. Alan was born January 25th 1947 to Joan and Edward Redinger in Kansas City KS. He lived the first forty eight years of his life in Olathe Kansas where he worked and went to school. Alan served his country for six years in the Air Force Reserves. He eventually purchased the family owned commercial printing business Burns Publishing Co. Inc. As a business man Alan was active in the Olathe area belonging to the local Chamber of Commerce and many other professional and civic organizations. For the past 20 years the business has been run jointly between Alan and Mary Ann in Florida and his good friends and partners John and Diane Burnell in Olathe. In 1992 Alan made Ponce Inlet his home. He loved the ocean and the river and felt very blessed to be able to live in this beautiful area. His favorite hobby was boating and he was happiest when he was out on his boat the Lucky Duck with friends and family. Alan loved all animals and was very proud to be instrumental in the creation of Ponce Inlet Animal Welfare which worked to enact a local Trap/Neuter/Return ordinance. He was also supportive of many local and national animal welfare organizations. He was especially pleased to be involved with the Halifax Humane Society and the creation of the Redinger Low Cost Spay/Neuter Pet Clinic located at 600 North Mason Avenue. He was proud to be named Ponce Inlet Citizen of the Year in 2010. Alan received the 2010 Silver Star Distinguished Service Citizen of the Year Award from the Volusia League of Cities. He was named Man of the Year in 2011 by Concerned Citizens for Animal Welfare. He received a Certificate of Special Recognition in 2010 from the US Congress. He was also a member of the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse Preservation Society Advisory Committee. Because of his love of Ponce Inlet Alan had a strong interest in the Town and was a fixture at most Town Council Meetings. Alan is survived by his wife Mary Ann and by his father Ed as well as a host of friends and extended family members and his beloved cats. Services will be held on Saturday 3:00pm at Lohman Funeral Home Port Orange 1201 Dunlawton Ave Port Orange.
