Survived by the love of his life, his beloved wife Lynn, sons Donald, Douglas, daughter Maureen (Copping) and stepson Christopher Kelly-Slauenwhite. Beloved grandfather of Jamie, Alexandra, Rebecca, Taylor, Logan, Courtney and Paige. Allan was born September 11, 1929 in Winnipeg. Graduated from University of Manitoba as a chemist. He spent 25 years with the RCMP. Before retiring, after a two year contract with the F.B.I., he and Lynn returned to Winnipeg. From 1988 - 1993 Allan worked with the Provincial Justice Department until final retirement. A private family service, guided by Rev. Boyd Drake of the West Kildonan United Church, to celebrate Allan's life, was held Wednesday, January 5 at his long time family home. One of Allan's cherished love was music, which was performed by a Solo Violinist', Liz Dyer, from the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra. A Farewell' by Alfred Lord Tennyson and, Ojibewa Prayer' (author unknown), were read by Allan's sister-in-law Jeanette Kenny from Nova Scotia. The family wishes to thank everyone for sharing Allan's incredible life, along with his many stellar accomplishments. The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in time of comfort but where he stands in time of challenge - We love you Allan.
