Dear friends

I only knew Allen like many newspaper readers in Bangalore

Though from the Taj Group of Hotels, I did not have an occasion to interact with him in person (unlike John Hamilton, who I had interacted with many times)

I believe that what one thinks of as coincidences, are all because of HIS MASTERPLAN

That is the reason why Sandhya and I met, TEN YEARS LATER, in...Taj West End, by sheer coincidence (?) recently...

If Sandhya is any indicator of Allen, then Allen was a legend, an unheralded legend, who fought for RIGHT, for JUSTICE, peacefully...

Dear Allen, u were an inspiration for many many directly...and for me, indirectly, from afar

If possible, do come back...I wd love to meet you for more inspiration

If not, may your Soul Rest In Peace

He was a good guy and a solid bloke. I havent met him in about 20 yrs but I'm sure he was a good son, a good brother, a good husband and an loving dad. May his soul rest in peace. With all my respect and prayers and my sincere condolence to all who survive him.

Dear Charles uncle, Winnie aunty, Sandhya, Glen, Mavis, Vivette and Aditya we pray the Lord give you all the strength to bear this loss and grief. Allen was always very friendly and jovial. I can never forget the konkani songs we used to sing together.

Naveen Frank, Mangalore/Sharjah

Allan was a great source of inspiration to me as a journalist while at Bangalore when he worked for the Indian Express and the City Tab Tabloid. With his  skill and interest in investigative journalism  in the late eighties, he exposed an organized gang of criminals who stole petrol from tankers and replaced it with contaminated fuel.

The news of his sudden departure comes as a shock. My prayers are with Allen’s family. May his soul rest in peace.
