Dear Miller Family. When I was 12 my Dad suggested I pick a best friend. I chose Allan and now, 50 years later, I can say that it was the best decision I ever made. Allan was highly entertaining throughout his life with his scheming, his humour and his boundless energy but what stood out most for me was his thoughtful and caring nature. Sheryl and I extend our deepest condolences to Allan’s family and friends.

To the Miller Family, I just heard this sad news and although I haven't seen Allan in years, I spent a few years living across the hall from him on Marlee Avenue and have some great memories of being good neighbors. I am so sorry for your loss. Mindy Berchansky

There are no words to express the loss of such a special friend and sympathy for his family. I will be forever grateful to have had the time to know Allan. He helped me though some difficult times with humor and support. Hard to find friends like Allan these days. He will be missed greatly and I send the family much love during this time.

Ilana, I was saddened to learn that you lost your husband. I wasn't aware that you had remarried. It seems like yesterday when I gifted you with a photo that I had taken of you and Tal, when she was a little girl which you had enlarged and d it when we were all at the Village Shul. I hope that you will be sustained with wonderful memories of your husband of Blessed Memory. My heart is with you and your family. Hamakom Yenachem Etchem Betoch Shaar Avalei Tzion ve Yerushalyim and know no more sorrow. Fondly, Janice Lebow

We are deeply saddened to learn of Allan’s passing. Our lives intersected many times starting at Westminster and then at Wagar. We reconnected years later when Allan moved a few doors down the street from us in Thornhill. We got to know him during this time and often went out, always sharing some good laughs. We even did a few “clear out deals” along the way. May his memory be a blessing.

Hey Adam! Steven Golditch coming at you live from Los Angeles, CA. It was incredible to be able to meet your father when I came out and visit last year. To be able to sit down and enjoy food from the father of such a great individual. The hot dogs were delicious, the beer, and the nice lounge that we got to eat at overlooking the beautiful Toronto skyline. Specifically, one moment I remembered about your dad was that he mentioned how executed he was that he was starting to learn Gemara with you. He seemed like he was really starting to get into it. Sorry about your loss again. Hope to see you soon!
