The town has lost a powerful advocate who will be greatly missed by all who knew him. His gentle kindness and ready smile to all were his trademarks. To simply say he was a fine man is an understatement, he was truly a special person. Phyllis, no words can begin to easy the pain of your loss, may the Lord wrap you and the family in the quiet peace of knowing that Allan is now sitting at his Master's feet. You are in my prayers. God Bless.

Nature

As a fond mother, when the day is o'er,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,
And leave his broken playthings on the floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door,
Nor wholly reassured and comforted
By promises of others in their stead,
Which, though more splendid, may not please him more;
So Nature deals with us, and takes away
Our playthings one by one, and by the hand
Leads us to rest so gently,...
