Dear Alice, it was a great pleasure to know Allin through APEGA and it was at last Saturday's AGM I learned he died last November. All I can say is how very sorry I am.

Alice and family, I just received the news of Allin's Rocky Mountain venture. Please accept my deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences. I enjoyed working with Allin at PetroCanada where he bestowed on many his wealth of geological knowledge. He had a great understanding of the intellectual and the practical which were meshed with a great sense of humour. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you Alice.

Alice, I just heard of Allin's last adventure over beer with Connie today - after the ring ceremony. I am torn between delight that he went out at full speed, and dismay that his laughter is not something we can look forward to again. The lovely looks and camaraderie the two of you shared so frequently and so openly with Council colleagues were a great treasure. I think many of us looked up to and learned from the easy harmony that both of you found between the personal and professional, and between intellect and joyfulness. With my great affection and very high regards.

To the Folinsbee clan. My Mother (Genny)and Cath. were childhood friends and my father (Bill) and Bob Sr. were childhood friends. Bob and Cath, decided Genny and Bill belonged together so the four of them became lifetime friends. This resulted in the Folinsbee children visiting the Morrow children when we all lived in Edmonton. I can still remember the Folinsbee children with a bit of awe. They seemed to be quite worldly compared to us and infused with enthusiasm about life. All four were brimming with positive energy and were incredibly likeable. So this is a personal tribute to the memory of a special and talented young man who obviously grew into one of those men who appreciated every moment and spread his contagious joy of life and the outdoors to include his friends, family, and even long ago admirers like me. Be of good courage at this overwhelming time. Sincerely, Will (Billy) Morrow, Calgary, Alberta

Alice and family, I am very sorry to hear that we have lost Allin. I will always recall Allin with great fondness as he started me on my career in geophysics and the oil patch when he hired me over 30 years ago. His keen interest in the sciences and the world around us was always an inspiration. Kim Davies

Tom Hamp posted a condolence
As a former co-worker of Allin's, I always admired his generous and respectful regard for his more junior colleagues - a fine humility from a very senior member of his professional society. For those who knew him, I am sure he will be a standard for personal achievement, willingness to help and explain, and generosity of spirit. It was indeed my privilege to have worked with, and learned from him. 'Happy to meet, sorry to part, happy to meet again.' Tom Hamp

Alice and family: Allin was the smartest man I knew. He was my mentor over the last 20 years of my career and always filled me with dread when he came to my office and siaid "I have a question?". He was a great friend and you both welcomed our family to your legendary Stampede breakfasts and hospitality. He will be sorely missed by Judy and I and all the "Junketeers". May all the happy memories help provide peace. Steve and Judy Thomas

My sincerest condolences to Alice and the family. Allin was one of the most amazing people I have ever met. There was nothing he didnt know. It was my pleasure and honor to work with him at Petro Canada. My father remembers Allin running around the geology department in Edmonton as a little boy in footsteps of his father..another remarkable man. The world seldom sees someone of this caliber...we will miss him.
