Sad to report the passing of Allen R - aka El Gato

It is with great sadness that I report the passing last week of  Allen R ... A great friend and contributor to this blog (aka El Gato)  ... and also my dear brother in law, and long time spouse of dear dear sister Kim.

Allen passed after a brief illness, with complications from un-diagnosed conditions -  even after repeated trips to the ER -  Allen was just able to be home for his 98th birthday ... but sadly passed only a few days later.

Our hearts are broken and our deepest condolences go out to Kim in this time of loss and sadness. 

Arrangements pending 

Rest in Peace  !
