Not sure what to say?

I can never have coffee with someone without thinking about all the laughs we shared, all the conversations and discussions we had about nothing and everything. One of the few people that I can say left a hole in my life when he passed. Sitting in a coffee house was never the same.

Worked at elmcrest when he was administrator. Many years ago. Good memories, especially rosella.

Alice,

My deepest sympathy. Allen meant so much to my boys and me over the years.

Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. Let your wonderful memories see you through this very difficult time.

I worked with Allen on the Portland Board of Education for five years. I found him a believer in a good education, a doer and a great imagination to do good things fore the schools. I enjoyed worker with Al and admired his tenacity in what he believed in.
May he rest in peace.
