It is with sad hearts that we say goodbye to our Allan. We are all touched by his inspiring life and his creative spirit which launched many thoughtful writings and poems. I am reminded of Leo Buscaglia's message to us all that our beloved friends and family will remember our love and light that we have shared through life's journey. For surely love is Allan's legacy...the greatest comfort to us all.

I KNEW ALLAN FOR YEARS IN NATICK AND BEACHWAY EAST CAPE COD.
HE WAS AN ENDEARING HUMAN, SO DIFFICULT TO FIND. HE WAS ALWAYS READY TO HELP ME OR GIVE A BIG HUG. HE IS ETCHED INTO MY VERY BEING, FOR ME NEVER LOST WAS HIS SMILE OF CARING AND FRIENDSHIP. EARLE WEISS
