Allan was born in Gary in 1970. He worked at Harsco (Reed Minerals) in Gary. He was lifetime Chicago Bears and Cubs fan. He enjoyed golfing with his dad and fishing with his friends. We will miss his sense of humor and big smile. Allan acted tough on the outside but was a big teddy bear on the inside. A special thank you to all the ICU nurses and staff at St. Mary Hospital for going above and beyond with their loving care and support.
