To Allen’s Family:
Sorry to hear about your loss. Allen and Theresa were known to us all as Grandpa and Grandma. They lived across the alley from my parent’s and they watched us grow up and also our children. We miss Grandma and will now miss Grandpa dearly. He was a good man and we all enjoyed every minute with him. We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.
By the way my children (now 17 & 15) still have the leather cowboy vest he made for them. They no longer fit but they keep them because they know that it came from their Grandpa.
