Dear Jan
So sorry to hear of Allan passing away. He was a real gentleman and great thinker. We had many interesting chats.
He was also a good Bridge player in his time. We paid tribute to Allan at the Bridge Club last night. Our thoughts are with you Jan.
Fond regards
Trevor & Margaret Lyall, Te Anau
Dear Jan, Geoff, Jacqui & family, my deepest condolences for your loss of Allan.
Allan was like another grandparent to me, always there to share advice and give me tips on hiking and share his stories. The time I got to spend with him in New Zealand will always be cherished. Sending all of you hugs and all of the love. He was a wonderful man and will be very missed.
I wish I could be there to say goodbye, sending lots of love from across the pond.
Thinking of you all xo

Another great tramper down
Not too shabby in the culinary skills and wine appreciation either

Such careful caring by you Jan
