Not sure what to say?

I graduated with Allan in 1963 from Loyalsock. Being the typical high school girl, I never took the time to really get to know him. A few years ago, I had the privilege to reconnect with Allan at a reunion for Loyalsock students. I enjoyed every minute I was able to spend with him and his wife and I left feeling I had missed out greatly not getting to know Allan better when we were high school students. I feel certain he had an effect on every life he ever touch. Rest in peace Allan.

I knew Allan decades ago through MOVE and his cousin Carolyn. Our paths diverged but my life would have been the richer if I had kept up. Allan was among the most interesting and interested people I have known. He enriched so many lives.

I was glad to have met you last holiday season. You were an inspiration to everyone who knew you.

As a very close friend of Jane, his sister, I knew Alan from a distance; however their souls and world views were so intertwined, and she always spoke of him with such life-affirming, vivid words, I felt I knew his great spirit even though i met him only twice.

My love to all his family.
