Gary Robert Van Allen

I just heard of Gary's passing, and was shocked. We were both troopers...and friends. He with the VFW in the City, and I worked at the Rochester office. We collaborated on many cases and spoke often. We met and worked on several cases together, and if it meant overnight someplace, for sure I had to get to sleep before him, or stay awake listening to him snore.

I remember one case when the Rochester Squad arrested a bad guy in Rochester, for a murder that occurred many years ago in the...

It was nice to see Gary again this summer, along with Eric and Kyle at a family function this summer in New York. Always enjoyed his sense of humor, and the times at the camp at the lake. He will truly be missed.

So sorry for your loss. It was good to see Gary this summer. Always enjoyed visiting with him and the family at camp. He will definitely be missed

We were lucky enough to see Gary when he attended a family event back in June with Eric and Kyle. He always had a interesting story to share and will be greatly missed.

The news of Gary's passing was truly a shock. I am so happy we had a chance to see each other in Delmar this past June and share some happy memories of family reunions and fun times at Helderberg Lake. I will remember him for his love of family, his laugh, and his sense of humor. He was a great cousin and a great human being. My condolences to his children, to Bobbi and John, and to the rest of his family. He will be missed.
