Allan Walter Soltes

With Deepest Sympathy.... "Chambersburg Johnny" Macciocca

Bogie was the brother I never had. I love him and miss him very much. Bogie would kid with me because I left New Hampshire to settle in Saratoga and watch my two grandchildren. Bogie had a list of funny reasons why I shouldn´t baby sit. This skit played out for many years. Bogie loved watches. I bought him four all colors. Blue was his favorite. This was the last present I bought for him. Bogie, you now have the peace you longed for. Good bye, my brother.

A very nice tribute to Alan. Living on the same block, but down the other end of Washington, many many memories of Alan walking by the house. He was a year older than me, and realizing that he was a little different, but special, I always made sure to say hi and we would chitchat a little back and forth. Leaving the burg at 21 and never returning, my thought of Alan is kind of frozen in time, thinking of him as a younger man. God bless him

I always remembered seeing Allan walking down Washington Street past our house across from the casino restaurant I didn't know him but I was friends with Cher. Even with his obstacles in life Allen lived a good long life...better than a lot of others. He tried tents what mattered.. Good bless

Bea, Andre, & Cher I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. You know Alan will not be far from you. You´ll feel him around comforting you as was his nature.

I had the pleasure of knowning Alan being his nurse for a short time. He always made me laugh at least once a day. He will be missed and thought of with loving memories, RIP my friend.

I did not know Allan but grew up in the Burg and he is only a few years older than I. When I read the obituary I thought it was the most sincere heartfelt testimony about someone´s life. Encountering difficulties he loved his life, family and friends. Growing up in the Burg I was raised by a living family and this sense was instilled from my earliest years.. as was Allan´s. He will be missed and Cher your grief one day will be replaced by the lasting memories you have of your living brother....

Please accept my sincere sympathy in the loss of Allan. It is apparent from your lovely description of him and his life that he was a much-loved individual. May Bogie rest in peace.

Gone but not forgotten! Your brother is in Heaven's theater in the front row seat where he can watch over you and your family. I'm so sorry for your loss but I know that the pain you feel is only because you have loved him deeply and he knew that. Wrapping you in my thoughts and prayers.
