Even though Allen didn't travel the shoots the last several years I still would talk to Allen occasionally I would give him a call to talk over old times. Condolences to the family and he will be missed.

I had many discussions, dinners and trips around Arizona with Allan. He looked after my shooting glass requirements for many years and became one of my buddies when I came to shoot skeet in the USA. I want to offer my condolences to his family from myself and many of his other Canadian Friends.

Allan: we shared many of time together back in the day when I was a young upstart Remington man. You taught me how to never loose sight of Life while still doing your job. We hunted doves together, fished bass together, drank a bit and you gave me a great Salsa recipe I still use. RIP my friend. And to Barb, you probably don't remember me but I remember you well from the WI State Shoot days. So sorry for your loss. Allan was a tough bird some times I know but he was a friend to so many. Peace.
