Uncle Allen will truly be missed and will always hold a very special place in my heart. His determination and will to fight has inspired me beyond words and will be a vivid reminder to me to live my life to the fullest everyday! Thank you Uncle Allen for the wonderful memories and the special moments I will treasure forever. I can't wait to see you again in heaven.
We love you so much!

It is hard to put into words how much we will miss Papa No Hair. As the mother of two of his grandchildren, I can testify that he was truly one of the most caring people I know. He came over regularly to read, swing, wrestle, and feed (among many other activities) the girls that will so dearly miss their Papa. He was a dear friend to me as well. I have attached one of my favorite pictures of Papa No Hair (before he shaved it) and one of his grandaughters, Kennedy. King of the World, Allen! We love you!
