We were sad to hear of Allan’s death. He bravely, through many treatments, battled with cancer. I was glad to see him in good health in February when we were in Ontario, as I had not seen him for many years. It is a sad and challenging time with the loss of a loved one. Our thoughts are with you during this time.
