Allan was a firefighter for the city of San Antonio for 28 1/2 years. He began at station #3 and then moved to station #22 at Stinson Field. He was very proud to be a firefighter. He loved his job and fellow firefighters.
He was an avid sportsman who never met a sport that he didn’t try, he was always good at everything. He set a great example for his sons to follow.
He would want to be remembered as a good Christian who loved his fellow man.
