Two ASURA colleagues comment: This is a terrible loss.  He was a wonderful colleague, but even more, a genuinely good and decent person whom you could always trust. I sought his counsel often and we spent many pleasant hours talking about all sorts of subjects, especially Scotland. (Glenn Irvin) Allan was a good colleague--calm, smart, super competent, and classy.  He was our go-to guy at West.  He came to ASU West when his spouse, Emilia Martinez-Brawley, was hired as Dean of the School of Social Work.
