I have so many lovely memories of Mr S. The sweet smell of his pipe tobacco whenever he was in the room. How he quietly sat in the corner taking in the craziness of our two families’ antics, his sparkling eyes, one syllable laugh but few words to add to the commotion. Many NY Eve tobogganing and skating parties, cold, spring and fall picnics in the Banff area, and summer weeks in the Okanagan and at Twin Echoes. I especially remember as a 10 year old the time the whole crew of us were on the floating dock and I fell off the deep side. He was the only adult on the shore to notice I was drowning. I was never so happy in my life to see a strong arm and handsome face reach down and grab my hand! So many happy times with all 12 of us! He was greatly loved, deeply respected and will be sadly missed but what an adventurous life he and Dulcie led.......and what a great team they made! All our love to each of you, Dine and all the Allan Clan. Xoxo
