Allen Foo Obituary

FOO Allen Chen Foo, age 57, of Bridgeport, loving brother, in-law, uncle and friend, passed away suddenly Friday, December 9, 2011 at St. Vincent's Medical Center. Born in Bridgeport, the son of the late Chen King Foo and Elaine M. Foo, he had been a lifelong city resident. Allen graduated from Bassick High School and proudly served in the U.S. Army. A very hard worker from an early age, Allen worked full and part time jobs since his early years which included employment at General Electric and Alcat Manufacturing in Milford. He will be lovingly remembered as a humble, generous, kind and gentle man with a quiet spirit and a deep love and devotion to his large and extended family. Allen had a passion for firefighting and fire trucks and loved to visit various fire stations throughout Connecticut where many of the firefighters were impressed with his knowledge. Survivors include his eight loving brothers and sisters, Howard G. (Jerry) Finelli, Sharon Burgess, Lee Foo, Maylene F. Ortiz, Beatrice Foo, Anna Casanova, Mary Ortiz and Lindie Gatling; several cherished in-laws, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews, and his best friend for over 25 years Curtis Jenkins. In addition to his parents he was predeceased by his brothers, Stanley Finelli and Edward Clukey. Friends and family may call Thursday, December 15, 2011 from 4-8 p.m. in the Spear-Miller Funeral Home, 39 South Benson Road, Fairfield. A service celebrating Allen's life will be held at 7:30 p.m. with the Rev. Robert Hammond, Pastor of the Long Hill Baptist Church officiating. Military honors will be rendered following the service.

2 my AWESOME family, our hearts are so heavy, but we must rejoice cuz Allen accepted Christ on Thxgiving & is in heaven!He knew he was loved.Al was a trip & got a kick out of how spoiled he was & he loved every min of it! We have great memories of Al esp. how he had us laughing at my dinner table..a night to cherish forever.I had no idea how comical he could be! Al, u were an AMAZING brother;always there for me & so kind and generous. I will miss your "urgent" calls, singing karaoke & u couldn't keep up with the lyrics, ur accusations about the "submit" button and most of all, driving me crazy for tea LOL. I told u Al, I never lie to you, God is real and faith comes from within and thank God u believed! Now u get to bask in God's presence and you see Mom & Dad & other loved ones, and you can take in all God's wonders. U no longer have 2 walk on asphalt; now u get 2 walk on streets of gold! Al, I will keep U in my heart 4ever & I will see U later at the pearly gates of heaven & hug you & tell you how much I missed you. I will love you always.

Uncle Al, you will be so missed by so many. You were so loved and so "babied" by those who loved you most... How wonderful for you how wonderful for all of us!I know that there is noone happier than you to be back in the arms of your mom, my grandmother! You are probably not even thinking about any of us, you have too much to catch up with Granny and Grandpa! This Christmas you will be far from alone, its probably a bit loud up there with My dad, Uncle Joe,Uncle Junior, Granny, Grandpa,and Scott. Give them all my love! Merry Xmas in heaven Uncle Al! Thanks for all the memories and all the laughs!
