Allan was a good man who cared so much for others! We worked together for years before realizing we were actually related! After realizing this he always would leave me treats of my desk whether it was a pen or a chocolate! He spent much time creating family trees for people he cared about! Family meant so much to him. Thank you Allan for being you and may you rest in peace my friend! Love Tara - Posted by: Tara ((cousin)) on: Jan 08, 2014

I will always remember Big Boy as the "gruff and tough" man my dad and I would meet in Camperville at the Fathers Day weekend memorial. Only when I got older did I get to really know him. I would always bump into him when walking over the Osborne Bridge or downtown. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends and may he rest in peace with Aunty Katie. - Posted by: Julie Fiddler (Cousin) on: Jan 07, 2014
