Allan was vicar at Buller Anglican Parish. He was down to earth and now up in heaven. He used to ride his motor bike out to the Cape and call in from time to time. He also visited us at our Maine home in the US where we let him drive our Cadillac car. We cannot share our memories of Allan without including mention of Joy who was with him on the US visit and whose grace and steadfastness supported him in his ministry at Buller. We cherish thoughts of them both and of their children. Our prayers are with you. Trust that God will look over you in your grief.
