“My sincere condolences to Janet and family. I lost touch with Allan after our Mount Allison days, but several decades later I still have many fond memories of the good times we shared because of our mutual love of music. I remember Allan as being one of the nicest people I have ever had the privilege of knowing, always ready for fun and a good laugh. He was an excellent, dedicated musician who no doubt passed those and his other good traits along to his students. Bob Bean”

“Janet, your friends at Coastal Voices are thinking of you and your children at this sad time. While never having had the opportunity to sing with Allan myself, the guys in the choir sing his praised and speak fondly of the time you and Allan shared with them. If the choir can aid you at all, please reach out. Ross Thompson”
