Allan was a kind and gentle man whose family always came first. He was always there when anyone needed him to lend a helping hand or fix something. He loved visiting with his family and especially loved watching his great grandchildren. He had a wonderful sense of humour and was always ready with a joke to share. He love tinkering on old cars and would adopt any animal that crossed his path. He worked hard all his life and continued to enjoy helping out on the farm with his son, Ken during his retirement years.
