Sorry for your family ‘s loss. I didn’t know Allen on a personal level. He was a customer of mine, when I worked in GrandBend. Some people leave a lasting memory. Allen was always friendly, and shared some of his life with us. I enjoyed hearing about his business, and his family. He was very proud of both.
