I was so sorry to hear of Allan's passing. His love of his dogs was known throughout Stamford. Whenever I visit Springdale Park, I will think of Allan throwing those tennis balls to his beloved dogs(mine too). I send my deepest sympathy to his family, but think of his reunion with his wife, Sharon, and Harmony and Koda, find comfort in that. He will be missed very much by his family and friends.
