On March 15th, Alan Mark Dwornick of Sicklerville, age 64 passed away after a 20 month battle against cancer. He fought hard and strong to the very end.

He loved the Casinos, You could always find him playing Black Jack at Bally’s or Caesars on a Wednesday or Friday night. In January of 2014, Alan won a trip to Las Vegas, Caesars Casino to participate in a nationwide Black Jack tournament in September. He found out he had cancer that same summer. In August he had brain surgery and began his chemo treatments but still went to Las Vegas to participate in the tournament. In a tournament of 250 people he finished third place. He was only one hand away from a million dollars! A very happy, proud moment that cancer almost took from him.
