We are so sorry to hear of Allan's passing. He was always a kind and gentle man. I played drums with Allen on a few gigs. He sure loved his music. Please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time. Rest in peace my friend. Brian and MaryAnn Rumble

Sad to hear of Allen's passing. I enjoyed my time as Allen's drummer in the Country Rovers in the late 70s. Allen had a great sense of humour and was always encouraging and respectful to his bandmates. We bumped into each other several times over the past few years - Allen always had a big smile and a funny story to tell. My condolences to the Yacks family.

Our thoughts and prayers to all the families. Allan was a great neighbor and friend. I was fortunate during the years to go to many of the parties, weddings and times Allan had his band playing. What an awesome bunch would be waiting to meet him. If you listen you can hear Allan singing. Love and hugs to all. ♥️
