I have such wonderful memories of sharing time with Alan and with Marylou.  Alan introduced me to so many fun aspects of New York. Sushi, singing at The Seamen's Church, and of course hours of Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo in our Buddhist days. What a rich and long life you lived, my friend! Blessings on your travels beyond...

RIP Allen. I have many fond memories of you and our conversations. Always so knowledgeable and helpful in business. As a Buddhist brother, I will memorialize you daily. 
Best-
Charley Gordon

Praying for Allen to be reborn soon so he gets another chance of lighting up our hearts with his joy, humor, and humanity.  Sincere condolences to Marylou and to all of the family and friends who will truly miss him.  -Gregg and Beth Wolpert

My sincere condolences to friends and family on the passing of Allen Berk. Allen was very supportive of me as a fellow drummer...so much so that when Allen was in the audience I always felt that I was playing for him. After the gig, Allen would always be so kind and supportive of my efforts. ... Allen was an outstanding individual...a mensch...We are all at a great loss...Rest in peace, Allen Berk.
