We feel so fortunate to have had a chance to share some special times with Allen. His wonderful smile, willingness to share his knowledge with anyone interested, gave him a very special charm -- we always felt so good just to spend a little time with him. I'll always remember that sparkle in his eyes as well as his gentle manner.

Dear Allen was my father Jim Hermann's good friend. After my dad passed, I felt my father's presence through Allen who continued as a dear friend to me. We walked on the beach last summer sharing conversation and friendship. As a fellow birder, Allen's enthusiasm for nature and photography gave me a beautiful way of connecting to my dad's best friend!! Much love to his family, Lauren Hermann Peck

I love you Uncle Allen. I wish I could have spent more time with you when you came to visit us. I didn't think that goodbye would be our last.
