He had a large, boisterous voice which was so beautiful; everyone who had the opportunity to hear him sing enjoyed it immensely. He also sang in church choirs, for weddings and funerals, and with his bands.
Allan's faith was very important to him. He was a member of Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church where he served as an elder for many years.
Allan Amandus leaves a legacy of beautiful music, a love of family, and deep spiritual faith which will never be forgotten.
