He will be greatly missed...
I just talked to Gary's son. He invited the members of BITOG to the funeral. He said the family would love to meet his father's internet friends. If you live close by please consider going because it would mean more to the family than you will ever know. If anyone wants his phone number please PM me.

I have been a long-time lurker here before I joined up as a member. I thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Allan's sharp wit and command of the English language. He was a very intelligent man and his posts were always food for thought. He will be missed. Prayers go out to the Allan family.
He sure had a way with words. Showed that he was a very smart guy. I will miss his posting on here.
Sorry to hear, RIP Gary. I notice he didn't post much lately might had thought something was happening. Sorry to hear...prayers to his love ones.

Sorry, greenaccord, I missed where you had already posted the link to the obituary.
No problem, it was a good idea to copy the text.
I'll miss the guy. His posts on this site were entertaining to read and he had a lot of wisdom to share.
Boy, just breaks my heart to read. Life is very precious, and oh too short. We just never know.
Condolences to the Allen family.

I noticed that Gary was born on leap day, maybe that's what made him special
