He was an alumnus of the University of Illinois and a proud Veteran of the United States Air Force. Allan was an aviator, from cropdusting as a teenager to Captain with Eastern Airlines before his retirement. An avid outdoorsman his entire life, he had many interests and talents. He worked hard, played harder, loved music, and was a friend to all.
