Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. I remember Allen from high school. We missed him at the last reunion in August. Our class has lost quite a few members this last year. We grieve for their loss.

I bought Fireside Chrysler Plymouth from Al Gaines and always felt he was a man of his word. He was a colorful personality in his day and I am sure that he will be missed by many people. I am sorry to find out that he has passed away.

My gramps was a very good friend. He looked forward to our phone conversations always. He loved hearing about his great grandchildren. He was easily amused by everybody's life. He would laugh and laugh with you all the time. He loved his computer and what the world of technology would bring him. He never missed a birthday or even a hallmark holiday. He will be missed...I love you gramps.
