I had the pleasure to stay with Allen in the summer of 1977 as a young student from Denmark.
I've been trying for years to get back to Allen, because I had so many fond memories of Allan and what we did together.
May I express my condolences to the family.

Bonnie and Family:
I had the pleasure of working with Allen for 12 years at Stein Medical. In that time, he was my supervisor, mentor and a great sounding block as we grew and grew. He had a wicked sense of humor and a quietness when you needed to vent. I have since left the area and spent many years overseas. I only recently learned of this tragic event and want to offer all prayers and condolences to you and your family.

Hi, this may not belong here but I had to try. I recently found a oil painting, painted by I.J. Belonger so I was wondering if Ivan Belonger did some painting. It was painted in 1950 said it was his first oil painting called "heart of the shanty" feel free to email me [email protected] and sorry for your lose. also sorry if I have the wrong family.

allen, i miss you so much and there isn't a day that goes by where we don't think of you. Nana's getting better but will never be healed. We had our first thanksgiving without you and let me tell you, it isn't the same. We toasted to you and had a moment. I love you so much and I hope your doing well.
love,
your grand-daughter

I worked for Allen for a few years and was completely shocked to hear of his untimely death. He had an amazing spirit and I hope that's one of the special things about him that his family will carry on.

My thoughts are with you. I have had the extreme pleasure to work with Allen over the last 16 years. His wisdom and open door will be missed.

We will miss Allen greatly! He is my wife's cousin and we saw him frequently during his visits to Two Rivers.
Allen and I rode to Point Beach State Park and Mishicot two weeks before his accident and planned on riding from Grafton to Two Rivers the last week of July.

To the family of Allen Belonger, I never met Allen, yet I know him in the sense that cycling was his passion. I too am a cyclist that was on the same ride as Allen on that fateful day.
As a now grown man who suddenly and unexpectedly lost his father at age 12, I understand the shock at suddenly losing someone you love. In the blink of an eye, they're gone.
The sudden death of my father took its toll on me for many years. Too many years to count.
One day I...

My prayers are with you all. I had the good fortune to work with Allen many years ago at Stein Medical. His quiet leadership, quick wit and compassion for all has positively impacted countless lives.
