We still miss our dear friend Allan and think often of his kindness, the trips we made together to various cities in America and also in Europe, his fabulous meals, the way he did my hair. . .So many things!

May he rest in peace and console his family and his many friends!

My heartfelt condolences to Allan's family. He was so proud of his children and all their accomplishments. He was a dear, kind, loving friend for over fifty years. I am glad that his last project to organize a concert in St. Augustine, Fla.,
together with his dear friend Bob Silverman, came to fruition in 2019. I will miss him very much!

May he rest in peace.
