Paul Cohen wrote a sympathy message

“He challenged me to be better, but in a loving and kind way. He made me laugh. He had his own peculiar ways of doing things. HIS LIFE WAS RECORDED ON SMALL PIECES OF PAPER! Maybe someone could publish them. He was an incredible father. He ABSOLUTELY ADORED HIS DAUGHTERS! HE WILL BE MISSED!”

Paul Cohen wrote a sympathy message

“In the Jewish religion, we are asked to make the world a better place for our time here. That would be the definition of a good Jew. Allan was a GOOD JEW! His Judaism was not seen at Temple but by how he lived his life. He was accepting of people, he welcomed the stranger, He genuinely cared for the less fortunate. He was proud to be a man, in all the different ways human beings can express themselves. He would laugh, cry, disagree, respectfully, cheer, etc.”
