We offer our sincere condolences to you in the loss of two wonderful family members and friends.
Allan was always a good friend and fun guy to hang out with when I was growing up. He will be fondly remembered by his former townline buddies and all others who had the chance to call Allan their friend. He was a kind and gentle man.
We have just returned from vacation in Arizona and were saddened to hear of Allan and Maxine’s passing.
Our best regards, love and prayers attend you.
