What can you say about Allen that anyone who has met him doesnt already know. He was a man who Honored & Loved his Country. A man who loved his family, a man who had that rough tough guy act when you first met him but after awhile you seen the most gentlest heart of anyone we have had the pleasure of knowing. Allen could tell a joke that would have you laughing for day's afterwards, he & Nancy have became a huge part of our lives & he will forever continue to be a part of us, one that will be truly missed. Our Thoughts & Prayers are with the Family. God Bless you's Much Love Your Pesty Neighbor's ;)!!
