My thoughts and prayers to the whole family. Rest in peace Allan. - Posted by: Gaetane Manaigre (Friend of family ) on: Nov 30, 2015

  • Allan-Mary and we were next door neighbors for over twenty years. The kindliest and most helpful neighbors one could ever wish to have. He and his wife Mary were the most friendly, loving and very genuine couple practicing the ideal of Good Samaritans. Though we knew that for the past many years Allan was afflicted by incurable cancer, but because of his active attitude to life, and indomitable spirit not to allow cancer to get him down that he would pull on. Even after a bout of Chemo-therapy he would be out in the yard working or going for a walk with his dear dogs. And we both dedicated special prayers that he be allowed to live at least a few more years as Mary devoutly wished. It was not to be. He will be very much missed. As we look out into our front yard we would miss his reassuring presence where he would be working, fixing something or other. Our heartfelt condolences to Mary and his grieving family.. - Posted by: R. VENKATARAMAN and VYDEHI (Next door Neighbor) on: Nov 29, 2015

  • Mary, I am so sorry to hear of Allan's passing. I knew him as one of the managers, he was a kind man, and one who always had the backs of his subordinates. He was missed. Gone far too soon. Take good care of yourself, being grateful for the years you had with him & not bitter of the years you won't have with him. Death cannot destroy the love. - Posted by: Carol Weakley (co-worker) on: Nov 27, 2015

  • My deepest condolences to the Perron Family, although I did not know Allan well he did offer to drive me home after a nice evening at Mary and Allen's place with friends. He was a very nice man. I loved his fish pond he had/has and was in wonder of how they survived during the winter, even though Allan had explained it still didn't make sense to me. My prayers and thoughts are with the family. May God comfort you all at this difficult time. - Posted by: Terri Favel (Friend) on: Nov 27, 2015
