Lou, Ruth, Gary, Ronald, Guy, Alison, Jill and to all the rest of Allan's family that we did not know; please accept our sincerest condolences on his passing. When we heard the news, all we could think about was when we all lived on Beech St. and our kids were growing up together. It is difficult to accept that we are all getting older but even more difficult when one of our children leaves before us older folks. It is not supposed to work that way. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all ig8nenow and perhaps we can get together one of these days to talk about 'old' times. With warmest thoughts and love, Sandi & Bob
