John Allin was an inspiration to all of us at Act II. Great sense if humour too.

I remember John as a kind member of our Leacock live cast.He did his part well but even more important,he was supportive of his fellow actors. He will be missed at Act11.
Kind regards

I fondly remember walking down the hall towards his apartment only to hear the beautiful piano playing coming from his space. It always made me happy.
You will be missed John.

John was a wonderful neighbour and a pleasure to know for the short time he was our neighbour. His music will be missed here on the 5th floor, rest in peace.

Ross, Cathy and families
My deepest sympathies at this time. John will always be remembered for living his life to the fullest, embracing life and his love of music and acting throughout his life. Whenever I visited he always spoke of each of you with love and was very thankful for all you were doing for him. May the many memories you shared with your father / grandfather comfort and give you strength at this time.
