Allan was a Tree Arborist, and general manager of Enfield Tree Service, Inc. You could say he did it all as a mechanic and equipment operator. He had a love for the outdoors, custom cars and playing Keno. Even though, Allan used “Colorful” language, he was a stand-up guy. He always had a “Get it done” attitude and lived his life every day as if it was his last. Words that best describe his are, Patriarch, motivated, visionary and a generous leader. Milestones in Allan’s life that were of importance to him were, meeting & marrying Carole, his tree business, hunting trips as well his trip to Africa. Of coarse his true pride was his custom Mercury of which he won numerous awards and admiration from fellow car lovers. He was a member of the Dunbar Street Cruisers. He enjoyed watching the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs and would root for anyone who was playing the Dallas Cowboys. He loved his steak and a good cup of coffee.

In the end, he is remembered by his family by his generosity, love for his family, his work ethic, “Big” presence, his sense of adventure, along with his get it done attitude, love of nature and most of all, his love for helping others.
