Uncle Allan

Like most growing up, Allan's family was a significant part of his life. However, Dad's was a little unconventional. Being the ninth of ten children, Allan was an uncle before he was even born. His next oldest sibling was seven years older than he and most of his other brothers and sisters were already married and with children when Dad was a young boy. As a result, Allan was closest to his nieces and nephews. Jerry Alexander, Faye's son and Allan's nephew was likely closest to him and shares some great memories here. Cindy, Dad's niece also shares memories of Allan here.

  1. John, I just want to say that I really enjoy this blog! There are so many things I've learned already about Dad. I really enjoy it. Thanks for all your hard work and effort to provide our family with Dad's life and character. I think it is especially nice for me because I was pretty young, 14, when he died and I don't remember much about him. So, thanks again.
