May his memory be a blessing. Prayers to his family. I will always remember the lunches we went to with Jay Parker for each of our birthdays and the many restaurants we closed. RIP Lori Saxon

So very sorry to hear of Allan´s passing. Although I knew him in college we became better friends in later years. He was one of my best submitters to our class newsletter and we often got together when I returned to DC. I enjoyed sharing pictures of his beautiful family and talking about his many trips to Italy. My condolences to his family. Di Alexander
