To those who may read this,

Allan, affectionately known as “Uncle Al” to me, may have departed to reunite with loved ones who preceded him, but his presence will forever dwell in our memories.

I fondly recall the love he bestowed upon me, his captivating stories (some not always suitable for younger ears), and the countless joyous moments we shared.

Uncle Al’s influence has significantly shaped the path of my life, for which I am deeply thankful.

He will forever occupy a cherished corner of my heart, and I am immensely grateful for the privilege of having him in my life.

Sincerely,
Scott “STP” Christensen

We have all lost a very special person in Al’s untimely passing, more than one family should have endure in such a short time. God must have recognized that Al’s work is done here, time to come home and be with his wife and most recently his son, Wayne. Al was an outgoing person, who greeted all with his smile, invariably asking how you were doing before you could do likewise. He saw the good in people, caring about each and everyone he met. Proudly, I called him my neighbor and my friend for over 24 years, being grateful for his wisdom, insight, and will miss those conversations with him. As with Wayne, we each need to thank God for the blessing and privilege to have known Al for as long as we did, as we each became a better person as a result, no matter how brief, rather than to have never known him at all. As we commit him to his place of eternal rest within this time of sorrow and reflection, let us pray that what Al was to each of us and that the peace, health, and harmony that he sought for others, will indeed someday come to pass for each of us and the rest of the world. God bless you Al, your children and their family, your grandchildren, and all who were touched by you.
