Alan R. Propst (1952-2006) graduated from Beaver Dam High School in 1970 and went on to work for Chrysler Marine in Beaver Dam for nine years. In 1979, he began working for John Deere Worldwide Commercial and Consumer Equipment Division in Horicon as a quality control special investigator. Alan served as a union steward for I.A.M. Local 873 Machinist Union starting in 1997, as well as serving on the Environmental Committee and the Quality Team for John Deere. He was a member of A Brotherhood Against Totalitarian Enactments (A.B.A.T.E.). Alan was a life member of Harley Owners Group (H.O.G.) since 1986, a member of The Waterloo Trail Twisters Snowmobile Club, and a member of the Pumpkin Center Sportsman Club. He was also a member of Trinity Church United Methodist in Beaver Dam. His love of Harley motorcycles and freedom of the open road took him on many long distance rides that sometimes lasted for several months, returning with stories to tell all, which believe it or not were all true. Alan also enjoyed working in his yard and being with family and friends.
