I was honoured to have been a poverty lawyer at the Legal Services Society at the same time Allan was one and have since connected with Allan through the Law Foundation and Allan's work with the Ki-Low-Na Friendship Society. He was someone, for whom I had the most tremendous respect. He was committed to justice in the most practical way; unfailngly courteous and a gentle man in the very best sense. I wish my warmest condolences for his family.
