Allan did much for PGCA. Allan and I talked on the telephone just last week.

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.

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.
