Allan Swanson

[Art Wheaton]

Allan Swanson, our past Treasurer, Board ,Director, Hall of Fame Member, and Trustee of Hall of Fame board left us today. His generous contibution to the PGCA in time, effort, and Parker items are immeasurable. One such time he won a Parker 20, put up for sale immediately and all proceeds went back to PGCA. He was a great friend to many of us and will be missed. As part of a reorganization team when the PGCA needed guidance and hard work he stepped up. My friend...I will miss him

I was so impressed at our recent annual meeting when our colleagues talked of Allan in such glowing terms. It was clear to me what he meant to our Association. I know he will be missed and that his role in the PGCA will be long remembered. Condolences to his family.

Another Parker gentleman gone! So sad. Prayers for Allan’s family and friends at this time.

I think my wife has said it best of our dear friend that has meant so much to us all. He was the Godfather of the PGCA. Condolences to his family.

Allan was a friend to me, we worked together on the PGCA finances. He would always pull his part and then more. Bill Mullins named him the PGCA protector and he sure was. I’ll never forget how he loved to see how the folks at our bank would react to some of his “northern” humor.

We had many chats by the wood stove in his workshop. He's now with his good friend, Winston Churchill. I will miss him.

Allan wrote me a hand written note every time one of my articles was published about Parkers in the DGJ. He aways went out of his way to say hi at annual meetings. Class act man. Sorry to hear this .
