When I read the Oran today after a trip to Ontario I was shocked to see that Allan had died. Please accept my sincere condolences for the entire family. I used to talk to Allan at the OATS. He was a quiet, unassuming and very friendly person. With deepest sympathy, Pieter J. de Vries.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Allan, but working with Angela, I can see how much passion and love she has for the art of teaching. Reading about his many life’s accomplishments, I imagine she was greatly inspired by her father. Condolences for your family’s and community’s loss.

I remember Allan as a humble and meek man, personality traits that the Almighty God looks for in a human being.
Unlike what happens to our animal friends, who die , we "fall asleep in death" (Acts 13:36 David, on the one hand, rendered service to God in his own generation, fell asleep in death, was laid with his forefathers, and did see corruption. ) and if a human falls asleep, we know that they will, at some point, awake and stand again. So is the case with Allan. ( John 5:28,29 "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life.) Yes, Allan, based on the ransome of Jesus Christ life for mankind and the love of the Almighty God (John 3:16 For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.) has the hope of an earthly resurrection to continue his love for gardening and nature.
Kind regards and sympathies to all family members from the Scott Family.

Our hearts are covered with the imprints of those who loved us. Allen loved his family and they in return. Allan was a good and kind man with whom Brien and I are grateful to have known. We send our deepest sympathies to the Gillis family and to those outside the family who loved and knew him. Brien and Debbie Kelleher
