Not sure what to say?

Blessed Prayers and thoughts. I knew Allen Derr back in the 90's working for the Juvenile Court. I highly respected him as an Attorney. May you rest in peace for all eternity.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

Allen, was a true gentleman and scholar. Our sympathy on his passing to his wife and family. We met him a couple of times and will never forget what a class-act he was. May he rest in peace.

Judy: Know that the Andersens and Whipkeys are thinking of you and Allen. It is always such mixture of feelings when someone passes, with Allen the feelings are so positive. We always felt Allen was such a gentleman with soul and heart that We enjoyed everytime we saw each other. Professionally he was at the top and it was nice to know someone of his caliber was at your right hand whether he was working for you individually or his public service. He will be missed.

I only knew Allen for a short time, but what an impact he and Judy made. I remember asking Judy 'Where's Allen?' as we moved them into their apartment. She said ' He still goes to work everyday.' What an amazing, dedicated, superstar of a man! After listening to only ten minutes of highlights of his life, I remember wishing that I'd only taken a few more short moments to experience his presence. R.I.P. Allen. You are Legend

To Judy and all Allen's family: You have my sincere condolences on Allen's passing. He was a hero to many, including me. I hope you find comfort in your memories of this wonderful man and in the certain knowledge that he left a great and lasting legacy. I will always cherish his friendship, and I will miss him very much.

Judy: I only met Allen once...in the airport, I believe, but he must have been a wonderful man! A good Democrat which this state in particular will miss profoundly! I'm sincerely sorry for his passing!

Mr. Derr was a dear friend of my grandparents. I am honored to have had the chance to meet him,and also listen to his valuable advice on many occasions. You will be greatly missed.
