Dr. Organ was born April 28, 1948, in Los Angeles, CA, to the late
Hyman and Dorothy Organ. He graduated with a BA in Chemistry from UCLA
in 1969, where he served as basketball manager under legendary coach
John Wooden and was part of three national championship teams. He went
on to earn a PhD in Biology from the University of Kansas in 1972 and
his MD from the University of Missouri in 1976.

A dedicated pediatrician, Dr. Organ completed his residency at the
University of Kansas, serving as Chief Pediatric Resident from
1978–1979. He remained in private practice in Kansas City until 1999
and was widely respected as one of the area's few specialists in
treating Cystic Fibrosis.

Alan was an avid sports fan who spent his Saturdays cheering for the
Missouri Tigers and Sundays for the Kansas City Chiefs. He found great
joy in growing orchids in his basement, playing pickleball and bridge,
and spending time with his family and beloved dog, Max.

Alan was preceded in death by his parents and his first wife, Diane
Organ, to whom he was married from 1971 until her passing in 1999.

He is survived by his wife, Joyce Mills, whom he married in 2002. He
is also survived by his children and their spouses: Jason and Deborah
Organ of Indianapolis, IN; Alison and Brad Schul of Fenton, MO; and
Haley Organ of St. Louis, MO; as well as his stepson, Billy Mills. He
leaves behind four grandsons: Andrew and Matthew Organ, and Dylan and
Teddy Schul; his brother, Steve Organ; and nephews, Craig and Adam
