Not sure what to say?

Hi Jan, I am so sorry to hear about Allen. You have always been special, and I can see he was too. I wish you comfort, Leslie Parrish (Denver)

Allen was a good, faithful man, and a great boss. He helped me learn new things and guide me through rough challenges. I appreciated my time knowing him at NWP and the texts of Bible verses he sent to me everyday. Rest easy, Allen. You're always in my thoughts.

Allen was a dear friend and business partner. His steadfastness, honesty, hard work and concern for all his employees was a big part of NWP´s success. Allen taught all 3 of our kids how to stack lumber, drive forklifts and delivery trucks and learn his work ethic while working summers at NWP. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Jan and your whole family during this very sad time.

Allen will truly be missed! Very positive, caring and generous man. I remember when I met his parents in Haines AK. They took me in like family and I didn´t even know them.

My deepest condolences go out to the Menaker family. Allen was the kindest man I have ever met. He will be greatly missed by all who ever had the opportunity to know him. I feel very blessed that I was one of them. I have no doubt in my heart that he is with the lord, singing and playing with his beloved four legged long time friend Rex. Leona Eckert-Kisner

Hope to watch the memorial service online. May you feel the comfort of the Holy Spirit. Like the song says, "When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be." Love & prayers" Elizabeth Baker

Aside from being such an integral part of the success of NWP, Allen was also a great support to me and our entire family over the years - when my brother was in the hospital dying he was there to sing and pray with him, visiting another brother in prison, helping our family through the difficulty of my dad's unexpected death and my mom's struggles with dementia. Allen was always there with a steady presence and an open ear when I needed to talk. My heart is with you, Jan, and your family as...

Such a good guy! Always enjoyed my interactions with Allen. Peace and love to his family. RIP my friend.

Jan and family, so sorry to hear about Allen's passing, but he is now in the arms of Jesus. He will be greatly missed here on earth, but heaven has another choir member singing the praises of his Lord and Savior. Prayers to all of you as you adjust to the waiting time until you meet again in heaven.
