Allen Blaurock Obituary

My deepest condolences to Allen's family. I was shocked to learn last week of Allen's passing. He and I were friendly competitors in the myelin diffraction field, and go back nearly 40 years. I will always treasure our 1992 collaboration in co-authoring a book chapter. I have always had the utmost respect for his insights and novel approaches to membrane diffraction, and will greatly miss his reactions to our latest research endeavors.

I'm so sorry to hear of Allen's passing. I miss him already. He took my classes when my father died last year.

My sincere condolences to the Blaurock family.You are in my prayers.

I was so sorry to learn that Allen had passed away. I still expect him to ride his bike into the Evanston Ecology Center bringing us information, plants, or some timely advice. Allen helped us when he could and was generous with his time and support.
I truly appreciate the time Allen spent with my son (when he was in 8th grade) on my son's science fair project, helping him evaluate his research, giving good ideas and suggesting ways to look at the information. Allen's help really paid off and my son won best in category at the IL State science fair. I always thought this was really special because Allen was so willing to take the time to work with a budding scientist. Thanks Allen!

Allen would make an extra effort to bring the Ecology Center European Ginger for the annual May garden fair which helped us continue to raise funds for Ecology Center addition project.

We will truly miss Allen and are thrilled that we have had the pleasure of knowing Allen and know that our lives are certainly richer because we knew Allen as a friend.

Sincere condolensces to all the family especially Bernadette, Linnea and Walter.

This was a dreadful shock. Death is never easy, but sudden death is so very difficult. Alan was a kind and witty individual. I met him 20 years ago at Kraft, and knew him throughout the years and into his retirement. I saw him often when he came to the Credit Union. He was admired and respected in Krafts scientific community. He will be missed.

I was fortunate to converse with Allen in the science department office at ETHS about up-to-date science research that we read about in the journals. I will miss those enlightening encounters.

My sincerest condolences. Allen was a true thinker, a scientist, and an excellent educator. The latter is how I met Allen at ETHS, and I will have him and his family in my thoughts and prayers.

My condolence's to you for your loss. I knew Allen when he was at Kraft, and saw him every so often when he would come to the Tech Center. I had great admiration and respect for his scientific achievements and capabilities. Allen was also someone who I admired for who he was as a person. I will miss him.

I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family at this most difficult time.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have only known Allen for a few years since I have been teaching at ETHS. We shared a room together one year and I know him to be a wonderful colleague - always helpful and always a great conversationalist. I will truly miss him.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Please know that your family is in our hearts and prayers. Allen was a kind and gentle man and wil be missed.
