I met Donna and Allen way back when 609 was part of NEN and we all worked together.  He and Donna on the first floor, me on the second.  I remember when they returned from their honeymoon and shared the pictures, one of a sandy beach with Donna and Allen standing at the waters edge always stayed with me.  He was a sweet guy then and stayed that way throughout all the years.  He always smiled - always.  Though I never did have any of his home brew, I did partake of some of the sweets he made when we were all in 549 and lunched together daily.  Donna and Allen - great people, great team.  I am so sorry for the family, huge loss.
