Allin FOLINSBEE

Alice,
I was shocked and saddened to hear of Allin's death. I understand that he was doing what he loved to do, and that must be some comfort to you. He was person of wide interests and a uniquely inquisitive nature.
Our sincere condolences.

Dear Alice,

I am so shock to learn from you to-day the tragic sudden loss of Allin earlier on Nov 5, 2013.

Please accept my deepest sympathy for you and your family for your loss.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Dear Alice, It is with great sadness that I recently heard of Allin's passing. I worked with Allin for four years at Petro Canada and he had a big impact on my career. Patricia and I send you and your family our deepest sympathies on your loss.

Dear Alice and family, I send my sincere sympathy in the loss of Allin.

Dear Alice and family,

Our thoughts are with you all. While we did know Allin well, we always knew he was a special man and shall be missed.

Sincere condolences,

Hilde and Alan Wheeler

Alice and Family

I am thankful that I had the opportunity to visit with Allin at the CSEG reception in October. He will be greatly missed by the society- Allin has served on the executive - and by the geophysical community which admired his contributions so much.
So, it is a personal loss for me and a great loss for the geophysical profession and society.

John Boyd

Alice and family:
We share your grief and deep sense of loss. At the recent FGC function in October, my daughter and I had a wonderful visit with you and Allin, and we will always remeber him from this happy occasion.

Dear Alice,

I am so saddened to hear this news today. My thoughts are with you and your family Alice.

Love Laura

I was very shocked and saddend to hear about Allin's tragedy. It is so unexpected since we were having a great time bird hunting just a few short weeks ago. At work Allin was the guy to talk to if you had difficult technical problems and we always had fun discussions.
Allin was a true Renaaissance man, he knew about everything. While duck hunting he could talk about geostatistics and then go home to use his home-made feather plucking machine!
My sincere sympathy to Allice and Family. Allin is in my thoughts from very far away.
Sincerely Denis Couturier in Cairns, Australia

Dear Alice and family,
We have been in shock and saddened by Allin's passing. His smile, exuberance of life and the fun of having a discussion about any topic we could come up with will be missed. He did have a life well lived and is an inspiration to all of us. We are not in Calgary this week so cannot attend today's memorial. We will be there in spirit.

Alice and family, I offer you my deepest sympathies in these trying times. Allin was a good friend always willing to help even when a solution required some of is personal time. God bless.

Alice and Family: So very sorry to hear about Allin. It was a shock to hear, but we have so many wonderful memories of Stampede breakfasts, long conversations bout the oil patch (with Denis), ranching in general and any topic under the son. Denis was happy to have gone pheasant hunting just 2 weeks prior, so another fond memory. Denis is out of the country but wanted you to know how much we will miss dear Allin. A wonderful friend and co-worker. He accomplished more than so many of us and lived life to the fullest! We will miss everything, laugh and exuberance for life!

We miss you

Dear Katherine,

Dear Alice, Ian, Katherine and Stuart
We were so shocked to hear of Allin's passing. "A life well lived" is very appropriate! Such a heartfelt laugh and sense of humour! Our kids will always remember Stampede breakfasts out at the farm. Sending you lots of love and hugs from afar.

Dear Alice and family: Walter and I were saddened to hear of Allin's sudden passing. Our sincere condolences to you.
Walter and Carol Saponja

Alice and family,
I learnt a lot about geology and geophysics from Allin working and teaching statistics courses with him at Petro-Canada. Allin was the master to go to with any questions. He was always helpful and always had the time for you and your silly questions. I was lucky to enjoy Allin's and your hospitality at your stampede breakfast where both of your generosity and love of friends were evident. Allin will be missed but what he has passed on to all of us will carry on. My condolences to you and your family.

Deeply saddened to hear about Al's tragic passing. I will always remember Al and Alice coming over with the latest wild game, and wilder adventures that came with it. Al's booming jovial laugh would echo through our house as he told his stories in such detail while his smile engulfed his entire face. After I had completed my university degree, I learned of Al and Alice's academic achievements and was in utter disbelief that my long time farmer neighbors were such accomplished scholars as well. I had a fantastic chat with Al last time I was over about his studies, however he was more interested to give us a full tour of his garden, and the techniques that grew the healthiest Russian cabbage. I will always remember Al so full of life, happy, and forever smiling.

Ian and. Family--so sorry for your loss. Take comfort in knowing he was doing something he loved.

So sorry to hear of Al's passing. I learned so much from him during my days at Petro-Canada. Me and countless others. May he rest in peace.

On behalf of the Lilge family - Betty, Rhoda and Jay and all our family we were saddened to learn of Allin's passing. It has been many years since we last saw Allin but all of us have many fond memory's of all our Folinsbee neighbors. Sincere condolences to Alice and family.

Dear Alice,
We extend our most heartfelt sympathy to you in the loss of Allin. We enjoyed our times with both of you. We are out of town and unable to attend the service. Keeping you in our prayers. Lloyd and Carol

Alice and family,

Allin's exuberance for life and learning will be remembered by all who knew him. He was an inspiration to UofC graduate students in the Fold-Fault Research Project and also great at explaining to engineers how geoscientists' minds work. Before a geoscience committee meeting in August we got talking about picking and shelling fresh nuts in Spain and I couldn't help but smile when reading about how much he enjoyed them. My thoughts and sympathy are with you.

Alice and family: I am shocked and greatly saddened to hear of this. I will remember Allin as a perceptive, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable scientist -- but mostly as a good friend.

I was very sad to hear the news of Allin's death. Working together at Petro-Canada over the many years I admired his broad scope of interests and his zest for life. He will be missed.

Alice

I was so sorry to hear of your tragic loss -- with sincere condolences and sympathy to you and your family.

Dear Alice and family: I was deeply saddened to hear about Allin's passing. He was a true champion for geophysics and an avid supporter of our CREWES Project at the University of Calgary for many years, including after he had retired. We will miss very much his thoughtful advice, enthusiasm and dedication. Sincere condolences to you and your family. I'm sorry that I will miss his memorial service on Monday as I am out of the country at present.

Don Lawton

Dear Alice and family
It was a shock to see Allin's obituary in the paper this morning. My most sincere condolences go out to all of you.We have all lost a good man.

Bob Meneley

Alice and family; Chris and I were devastated and shocked at the news about Allin. We all loved Allin's laugh and his zest for life. I fondly remember teaching our risking short course at PetroCan with Allin and how Allin was the Jedi Master at flipping the decision tree - a skill that still eludes me to this day. We offer our most sincere condolences and love to Alice and her family on this tragic loss but also our appreciation for Allin's 'life we'll lived'! What an excellent example to us all. Unfortunately we are out of the country and will not be able to attend the celebration but please know that we will be there in spirit. Doug and Chris Gardner

Alice and family
