Thought about you today which lead me to stumble upon this page which was apparently made 10 years ago. Seeing these old pictures posted on this page hits a spot in my heart that I haven´t felt in some time. I appreciate everything you did for me as a young kid and being there for my family whenever they needed it. Wish you were still here today to see everything I´ve done and to meet my sister. Sometimes I have memories come randomly of you. Some vivid ones being me cruising on your motorcycle, seeing you walk into grandmas house with a big pink box of donuts, playing baseball and looking up to see you watching from the top off the hill on your bronco, watching you put a ridiculous amount of moose in your hair, picking me up from elementary school and seeing you at the end of the hall smiling excited to see me, and of course flying down the hill at the end of the street with grandma and Wyatt making our stomachs feel funny. Love and miss u.

Uncle Allan,

We had the celebration of your life this weekend. It was really nice and there was so many people there. Sharon planned so much of the service and she was so helpful. I made the pamphlets for you and got an artist to draw the picture on the front. It was John's idea but I was the first to bring it to life. I colored the picture though. The poem on the inside is called "Family Chain",I chose this because I knew family was so important to you and our family chain is truly broken without you but it will be repaired one day. I also made sure to mention that you were a son, a brother, an uncle, a husband, a father and a grandfather. I wanted to make sure the whole family was there with you. I think the balloon was Karrinne's idea, I thought that was really cool. Raelene made the spaghetti and that was delicious. Everyone contributed in some way and we all came together.

I know you are looking over us at the gates of heaven with grandma and grandpa. I carry a piece of you with me everyday and constantly I am holding that motorcycle around my neck. BTW I spoke at the service and I read something that Niki and Michael wanted to say. Niki though you were so easy to talk to and Michael thanked you for letting him play on the trampoline. They could not be there but you know why. I forgot my speech at home and when I went back to get it I locked myself out of the house! So my speech was from memory but I think I did pretty well.

The slideshow was really nice Angie and Sharon did an awesome job. There was some guy there that looked so much like you, it was crazy. I wish I took a picture with you on my prom night. I know you would have if i asked you. Love you Uncle Allan.

Well Al, "It's like this"... Everyone came out to celebrate your life yesterday... Standing room only for everone's pal Al... The video Sharon and I made was a huge hit... A lot of your old friends came by everyone freaked out when Mike walked in he looks exactly like you... I've been spending a lot of time with Sharon helping her through this and it's been helping me too... I'm taking care of Kayla everyday while Sharon is at work... She comes over in the morning and we play and watch TV together until Sharon picks her up after work... I think about you everday... I just don't want to except this has happened... I just want to say one more time Thank you for checking in on my Mom while I was in Florida taking care of my Dad... You mean the world to me and your memory will live on forever in my heart and there you will never die... Love you always...

Allan was a big part of my growing up. I remember the day he came over on his motorcycle and he had two little green turtles, one in each shirt pocket. We named one "Gilbert" and one "Allan." I had them for years.
I'm happy to see the recent photos and to know that Allan had a lot of love around him. I hope that brings comfort to his family.

God the bless the family of Allan I know it is tough to go through a lost such as this and all I can say is to remember the good that Allan was to keep his legacy alive and well for he was truly a good man and our Lord and savior called him early to do his will in heaven and trust and believe you will see him again and that is by your faith that every tear he shall wipe from your eyes. God bless you all.

Allan miss you so very much I am so sad you left us so unexpected and unavoidable you will truley stay in my heart and memories forever you have been apart of our family for over 25 years. You and Angie watching you two grow into being best friends knowing how each of you thought and felt you two could finish each others sentences. And always laughing being funny I will miss that. The great infectous laugh and smile and that flitting butterfly twirl you have always made me laugh and smile. We will all miss your being there to give all of us a helping hand and your time sometimes not to prompt but you always got it done. Now I have to keep remembering for me----don't bring things home I don't want because you are not here to rescue all the treasures I don't want anymore. Allan our family misses you so much you will forever remain in our prayers and thoughts. My sympathy and prayers to Sharon your children and grandchildren. Catch up with Jerry in the RV and go fishing get the big ones.
Forever Colleen

Uncle Allan,

Where do I even begin? Well first of all, you were the chillest and most hip uncle in the whole wide world. Through thick or thin, when it came down to it you were the one I could always depend on. It makes me sad that you and I started to get so close over the past year or two and now your gone. Believe it or not I still think this is a really bad nightmare and I am just waiting to wake up and see you again. I have had so many dreams of you, driving your bronco and pulling into the driveway but I have had nightmares as well. I really believe everything happens for a reason because it is all part of God's plan but I really question him about taking you from me. It was too early for you to go.

You were not only an Uncle to me you were like a dad too. You have never done me wrong and have been so understanding about everything, especially Sergio. Haha. I wanted you to be the one to walk me down the aisle at my wedding because I want you to but now it is too late. I know you are watching over me and do not worry I will take care of Nancy. Remember I made that promise to you and I intend to keep it.

Well I will always keep you in my heart and regret that my future children will never have the chance to meet you. I will tell my kids all about you though and let them know how much you have been there for me and how much you loved me. At least you did get to meet someone very special to me and I feel blessed that I got your approval.

I am blessed that I was able to be there with you in your final hours and be at your side. You know that you were not alone and surrounded by those that loved you. I said good bye to you, gave you a hug and a kiss but then you started to cry and I gave you another hug and a kiss. I told you I loved you and would see you Sunday but I did not know that would be the last time I would see you.

I love you with all my heart Uncle Allan and will never ever forget you. I will see you again one day but until then please be my guardian angel and guide me through this dark world. Rest In Peace my dearest Uncle Allan.

Allan you raised me as your daughter for the last 25 years. And now that your gone I have so many regrets. I regret never having the opportunity to say goodbye. I wish I knew when I spoke to you that morning that I would have known it would be for the last time. There are so many things that I want to tell you that I never had the chance to say. I regret never actually calling you my dad to your face or telling you exactly how much you meant to me. I would refer to you as my dad to other people but I never had the chance to tell you in person that you were my dad and I love you. You were there by my side for the last 25 years during all the ups and downs of life through all my tears and smiles. I regret never telling you how much I appreciate you for raising me and being my dad when you didn't have to. I will always miss you and love you. Wyatt misses you like crazy and doesnt understand which breaks my heart. And mom is lost without you. I pray for understanding of why God had to take you and hope your in a better place. You will always be loved and never forgotten. I love you more than you know. xoxo

Allan, I never got the opportunity to meet you, but based on the love that Cheryl and Lora both have for you, it is obvious that you must have been a very special person. It's a shame that my grandson, your nephew "JJ" won't get the opportunity to know you and love you like the girls did. Rest in peace Allan.
