Although your passing brings tears, those tears are tears of remembering happy memories and the love you showed to your family & friends. It just their way of expression and remembering why they loved you so much! Reading through all the memories that people have wrote makes me smile. I only had the simple pleasure of meeting you at your daughters' wedding just recently, but I remember the speech you made that night and it brought a tear to every eye in the room. Not because it was sad, but because we could all see and feel just how much you loved your daughter and her new wife. That memory of your speech is what I have to remember such a kind, caring and generous man. I can't not imagine the loss your family feels, but I'm sure they will always carry you with them in their hearts.

To my dear sweet father-in-law. You were taken away from us far to early and our hearts are broken. My heart, love and prayers are with Vivienne, Boyd and Stuart who have lost an amazing father, to Victoria a wonderful father-in-law and to Mum I can't begin to imagine your loss. My dearest memory of Dad is the very first time I met him, Vivienne and I picked mum and dad up at the train station. We got out of the car, dad came over to me, threw his arms around me....whispered in my ear "welcome to the family" from that moment on... He was Dad to me! I love you with all my heart. Thank you for your support, love and understanding. You will truly be missed.

A great mate to play golf with over the last 15 years. We have had many laughs ( & a few swear words)as we sliced & hooked our way around Waitemata Golf Club. Tuesday golf will never quite be the same again! The hours of voluntary work Al put in will be remembered by many.
His Probus friends also will never forget the way Allan raced around them with the microphone at question time.
He was a guy who never said "No" &. was happy to assist where he could. He will be sadly missed.

What a man. Remember the Dog Box Club and our reunions. The motion that "Wives should be accorded Full Membership of the Club" will now never be considered as a quorum is no longer available. Love to you all

Vivienne & JoDee, we are so sad to hear of your loss. We often never know the last time we might see a loved one, so it is important to always take time with them and make every moment count. I know that you did that with your father and we could see and feel the love you will always have for him. We were so lucky to meet Allan and Helen at your wedding in Maryland and are so happy we had the chance to talk and laugh with them. May your sorrow ease with time and may you hold your joyous memories of your father with you always. Love to you both and your families.

My dear Viv and JoDee I am very sorry for the loss to you and your family. I enjoyed meeting your father and talking with him at your Wedding. His speech at your wedding was truly inspirational and the love he expressed truly showed what a dear soul he was to all. Words cannot express your loss and how you feel, stay strong and know that you will always feel his love by the warmth of the sun and the wind on your cheek.

We are so sad to loose a wonderful, loving, caring friend that we met a few years ago. We had the pleasure of going out with them on several occasions during their visits home with JoDee & Viv. Mr & Mrs Jensen both treated us just like their own children. I will never ever forget our special "Pride weekend" trip to DC a couple of years ago with Allen & Helen. We felt a very special bond with both of them. Our thoughts & prayers are with Helen, JoDee, Viv & the family during this difficult time. We sure will miss you Allen.
