Charles and Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you in coping with the loss of Allen. In my youth at the lodge in Cambridge Allen was one of the "special" that I viewed as a mentor, teacher and companion. Always a kind word and support when needed. Bill Bruce

I am so sorry for your loss. Alan would come in our office often during planting and harvest season. He was the kindest, happiest, most thoughtful person. If you were having a bad day, a visit by Alan would put a smile on your face for the rest of the day.
