MacLean, Alan Lockwood As the sun was rising on Easter Sunday, April 16, the world lost a treasured and most valuable human being, Alan MacLean, age 95. A man of great integrity, words cannot express what a loving and giving husband, father, grandfather, and friend he was. His children and their spouses and his grandchildren were blessed through the years to have him as a role model with his unconditional love, encouragement and support. He was a successful businessman and provided his family with a loving home and many travel and educational opportunities. Alan was born in Minneapolis on January 16, 1922 to Edwin Lockwood and Gladys (Mabie) MacLean. He was a proud member of the West High class of 1940. He continued his education graduating with honors from New Mexico Military Institute. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Al's undergraduate work at MIT was interrupted by 3 years' service in the Army Corp of Engineers during World War II. He was ordered into active military service from the ROTC at MIT in April, 1943. He is a graduate of The Engineer School, USA, Fort Belvoir, VA, and went overseas with the 1290th Engineer Combat Bn. on the HMS Aquitania in early November, 1944, sailing and landing at Gourock, near the Port of Glasgow, Scotland, for active service in England, France, and Germany, first with the 3rd U.S. Army and then with the 15th U.S. Army of the European Theater of Operations. After returning to MIT, Al met and married Charlotte "Chalky" Joanne Lacey on June 6, 1948. Shortly after that, they departed for Stanford University where Al received his MBA in 1950 and Chalky worked in the admissions office. Al and Chalky returned to Minneapolis, where his career with Honeywell spanned 34 years. He started out in the Residential Division, responsible for that facility locating in Golden Valley. He ended his career at Honeywell on the corporate staff responsible for corporate computer management and corporate factory systems management. After retirement from Honeywell, Al served as a consultant for another nine years to an international organization of computer manufacturers and telecommunication companies. Throughout his life, Al offered his time and talents to many organizations, serving as President of the Hennepin County Library Board, Chairman of the Citizen's Committee on Public Education, Citizens League, MIT Educational Council, Church Board, and Boy Scouts. Al is preceded in death by his parents, Edwin and Gladys; his beloved wife and OAO (one and only) of 55 years, Chalky; his brother, Donald Edwin and wife Dorothy (Scott) MacLean; and his infant son, David Lockwood MacLean. Al is survived by his sister Jean Whiteker and her husband, Roy Whiteker, Stockton, CA. He is also survived by his children and cherished grandchildren, Rev.
