Dear Ardis, Susan, Roger, David and family;
Allen was a wonder person. His sense of humor was great. He always was great concern about others and how they were doing. He was a person who cared deeply about his family and everyone he came into contact with. I would love when he would tell his stories about his life or to be able to talk just in general about the world or current events. He was will be missed.

Susan: You have my deepest sympathy. It has been years since you and I have seen or talk to each other. But I remember your dad being such a kind person and I enjoyed talking to him as architect. Interesting man. I know you feel the loss, but he is always within your heart. Your 'ole' School Friend
