Farewell fellow veteran.

My memories of Allyn are filled with joy and laughter. I loved working with him at Montgomery Hospital. Even more, I treasure the summers we spent in a ridiculously small house on the beach at the Jersey Shore. He played Elvis and placed dancing Santas in all the windows (even though it was August). We would place cereal on our noses and try to get it into our mouths. When we failed (which was usually the case) and the cereal landed on the floor, Allyn would say, "Don't worry, the dog will get it." The kicker was... he didn't have a dog. Allyn was fun, comical, easy-going and I will miss him greatly. Rest in peace my dear friend.
