My condolences to Allan’s family. Allan was a great supporter of youth in the poultry show hobby, and when he found out he was sick, he donated all of his trophies to the Vermilion Fair Poultry Show to be used for our Junior Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion prizes. From now on, we will have the trophies engraved as the “Allan Lakusta Memorial Award” so that we can remember his generous contribution to our young poultry hobbyists.

From: Peter Reid
Relation: Worked with him for years at Ecan
I met Allan at age of 17 when I moved to Alberta for work, he always spoke highly of his family and encouraged me from the start to be the same with mine because without family you have nothing he said. I would like to pass his family my deepest condolences.
From: Bruce Pattison
Relation: Al was the safety trainer at Ecan
I received most of my oilfield training from Al at Ecan and heard a great number of his stories. One that has always stuck with me is of having a dinosaur named after him something I at first thought to be a slight stretch but sure enough there is one named for Al. http://nationalpost.com/news/canada/new-quarter-features-glow-in-the-dark-alberta-dinosaur/wcm/f093ca46-2286-4381-8fd3-73293f679cf5 Al was an excellent teacher and will be missed.
