Allan L. Gill Jr.

May God bless you and bring comfort to you and your family during this very difficult time. I pray you always have Alan's memory near and that you know he is only gone in flesh and that his spirit is with you forever.

To Bennie and Family:
Allan and I e-mailed over the past few years, and unfailingly he would express concern if I wasn't taking care of my diabetes...he would describe these complicated scans and tests he was undergoing and then would brush off his discomfort and pain and quiz me on how I was feeling...what a brave and selfless soul he was...I cherish the back and forth banter about Van and remember how he sent me, unannounced, a copy of The Rainbow Theater, saying I NEEDED to have this...

PEACE & lOVE TO THE WHOLE FAMILY

To Bennie and family we offer our deepest sympathies.

Bennie and all beloved surviors and dear friends--Indeed his heart was huge while his mind was a great storehouse of knowledge.Even the relatively remote and obscure (and meager) of his acquaintances,such as I, have been gifted and touched by his kindness, his honesty, and wealth of info. Knowledge matched or surpassed only by his famous, and boundless, spirit of generosity.I've never forgotten his quiet presence at Chicago Fleadh '99, though we spoke only briefly, at best. Later, when I...

Dear family of Allan,
I wish you all the strenght you need for the future.
It was a great honeur for me to meet Allan in the Netherlands, he became my friend,I loved him and will miss him deeply,
take good care of yourself,
Marion (from Holland)

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Allan - no one had a bigger heart or a braver soul than you. I hope you have found peace. I'll never forget you!

Allan was a most kind and generous man. Although we had plans to meet and opportunities to do so, it never happened. Someday it will happen my friend. In the meantime, turn it up, so you know it's got soul.
