Extending deepest sympathy and love, Dale, and also to your family at this sad time. Fond memories of our times at Roy Street with our cousins many, many years ago.
Kathleen, and Ken NewtonK
We really enjoyed Allan's company, he kept us amused. We loved how he sung 'we'll meet again,' when he left the last time he visited us. He was just a lovely presence. Our deepest condolences.
We're so sorry to hear of Allan's passing. Our thoughts are with you, Dale, and your family. He was such a lovely man with a great sense of humour and we loved catching up with you both when you were in Auckland. We hope you find comfort in all the happy memories.
On behalf of the Revie Family, late of Crookston, I wish to acknowledge Your Dad at this time. What a grand age he reached. My Father, Gordon and Mother, Frances, would expect me to pass on our condolences. May your memories be strong during this time. Best Wishes from Susan McPherson, (nee Power, nee Revie).
