KEITH ALLEN Obituary
Born in Port Huron Michigan to Charlotte Allen (Seavy) (deceased) and William D. Allen (deceased). Keith . Father to William D. Allen (deceased) Naioa Li Allen (Brown), and Pearl Lynn Allen. Brother to Dean William Allen (deceased).
As a young man Keith left Michigan and worked at odd jobs up and down the east coast. He enlisted in the United States Navy and completed 20 years of service attaining the rank of Chief Petty Officer while working at many different and exciting jobs including air crewman on blimps in the Florida Keys and maintenance technician on F-4 Phantoms with the Blue Angels.
Keith's last tour of duty brought him to Instructor duty at NAMTRADET NAS Whidbey Island Wa., where upon his retirement he founded and ran the NAS Whidbey Island Flying Club growing it to a large and successful operation that was instrumental in bringing many young people into the world of aviation.
After leaving the Flying Club Keith went on to found his own business Chuckanut Aviation Center at the Bay view Airport in Skagit County. Keith touched the lives of many in and out of the aviation community.
Keith was a modest and humble man requesting no service or fan fare. Anyone wishing to make a memoriam donation in his name may do so to the PBY Naval Air Museum in oak harbor WA 270 S E Pioneer Way Oak Harbor WA 98277.
A great friend, Mason, and Consummate Aviation Professional, You will be missed.

Both Fred and I, thought the world of Keith. He had many stories to tell and he and Fred had the best time together. Both had the same sense of humor. Took him to the museum at Paine Field, in Evertt and many other outings.
