Although we didn't see each other often, you were always our uncle Allan, and always will be. I have fond memories of holidays and Christmas in Gisborne, catching up with you and the family in Gisborne at Nana's and visits to the farm, memories tucked away forever. Gloria, Ann, Kay & Roger, my thoughts are with you today, smile, laugh and keep the memories close. Tracy
