Alan was born as Alan Davis in Bronx, New York on July 14, 1932 to Elizabeth (Lejka) Davis, née Goldenberg (later to become Elizabeth Mescon) and Solomon Davis.

In 1946 when Alan was fourteen years old and his sister Joan (also determined through DNA testing to be the biological daughter of Elizabeth Mescon and Morris Mescon) was ten years old, Elizabeth Davis and Morris Mescon divorced their respective spouses and moved from New York City with a brief stop in Arkansas to North Hollywood, California where they became the Mescon Family.

Alan was preceded in death by his first wife of forty one years, Marlene Mescon, née Borten and Stone (1935-1996).
