Paula, I am very sorry to hear this sad news about Allan. I hope you and the kids are ok, and that he is now at peace. My stepdad was a victim of cancer too, so I know how bad of a way that is to go firsthand. You were always a good friend, as well as a very decent and caring person all around. This news came as a surprise. Even though we have not crossed paths recently, I still remember the kind person that you are, and after all, we have known each other and each other's families almost our entire lives from Second Avenue. I will do everything in my power to make it so if there is anything you need. If there is anything at all I can do for you, let me know. The easiest way to get me is via Email, I read it almost every day. Hang in there. May God keep you in this sad time, and may you find strength and peace in knowing that he is now in a much better place. God bless, and Take care.

To families of Allan:
So sorry to hear of Allan's passing. I remember Allan from our childhood. My father and Bob Goss, Sr. were good friends and we grew up in the same neighborhood (until my mother passed away in '71 and we moved shortly thereafter). May God comfort you in your sorrow. You will remember Allan in the good times you had.
