I'd be more inclined to do the latter.....don't think I'd want to remember him looking at this bottle empty, Allen was alot more 'half full' guy than 'half empty'.

I know it's a little late.....
But, glad I got to meet Allen.  He was an all original kind of guy.
He is missed for sure.

I think about him many mornings when I look across the valley to the hilltop where some of his ashes are scattered.  Kinda nice to think of him sitting up there watching a colorful sunrise.  Any time I get a chance to drive by that way I stop and say a few words to him.  Now and again I think I hear him chuckling in the wind.

After the initial sadness had passed, it brings a smile to my face thinking about the few times we met, and the many phone conversations we had.  Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks for bringing this up Bruce....I'm really bad at looking at the birthdays at the bottom of the Page, so a lot of people slip by unless I keep up with their birthdays on a personal basis.

Rest in peace my friend.
