I got to know Allen late. My walking buddy, Darryl, and I would see Allen and two other friends, Fred and Bill, on our walks at the park. A friendship developed and this past year when Allen nor Bill could no longer join us on the walks, we would meet them for coffee and a pastry at the park. I could tell this delighted Allen and thre others. May he rest in peace and reunite with his loved ones.

I worked with Mr Allan several years at ABCCM and dearly love him. We had so many long talks and a lot of laughs. He was very precious to me. Rest in peace Mr Allan. -
Mr Alan, as I fondly called you I’m do devastated at the hearing of your homegoing. I’ll miss our phone calls and your coming to see me at TRV. The loved we shared started at ABCCM and we continued to keep in contact. Thank you for the wisdom you shared and all the love you always showed. Take your rest and know I’ll miss our time and I promise to continue to take care of the bush that you gave me to plant. I will remember to keep it thriving.

I had the pleasure of working with Alan at the U. S. Forest Service and a finer gentleman could never be found to replace him! Our world has lost a truly good , honest and caring gentleman..Rest in peace Alan..many jobs well done..You will be missed.! -
Unfortunately, we just discovered that dear Allan had passed and that was why we had been unable to reach him. He and Joyce were our next door neighbors and our parents’ best friends when he worked at NASA. He was one of the best and kindest men that we have ever known and our late father, Jack Justice, treasured his friendship so much. Our parents, Jack and Wanda, traveled to Asheville to visit Joyce and Allan after they moved. Now they are all reunited in heaven. Rest in peace.
