Kevin Sack@ksacknyt With the morning comes the devastating news that a member of our @nytimes family, Alan Finder, has died of the virus. Alan, who retired a few years ago, was a terrific reporter, a calming presence and, as anyone who knew him will attest, one of the menschiest guys around.

Rachel Donadio ✔@RachelDonadio I'm so sad to hear this. He was a lovely guy and a kind, human presence on the foreign desk backfield, an editor who would always say "thank you" even when editing a short daily. My thoughts are with his family. 109 4:24 PM - Mar 24, 2020 Twitter Ads info and privacy See Rachel Donadio's other Tweets

David Firestone ✔@fstonenyc This is devastating news. Alan mentored so many of us on New York City politics and was the consummate Room 9 reporter. And as Kevin points out, no one was more decent and kind. He will be deeply missed. 133 4:23 PM - Mar 24, 2020 Twitter Ads info and privacy 15 people are talking about this
