He was a thoughtful, caring, and loyal man; family was very important to him. Family and close friends celebrated Allan’s 71st birthday on April 15, 2023. It was a wonderful opportunity to honour him by sharing stories, a lot of laughter, and some tears, with a special guitar solo by his granddaughter. A private family internment will be held at the Redcliff Cemetery on Friday, April 28th, 2023. Donations in honour of Allan can be made to Carmel Hospice at St. Joseph’s Home, 156 – 3rd Street NE, Medicine Hat, Alberta, T1A 5M1.
