The Ford family has had an enormous impact on this community, and Allen is a primary example. In addition to his work in industry, his leadership in the nonprofit community was exemplary, whether as a trustee, advisor, donor, advocate, or even as a young, crew-cut guest speaker in an economics course at CWRU while working at Diamond Shamrock. He did it all, and he did it with grace, wisdom, and generosity. He will be missed.

Over many years Dick and I enjoyed interacting with Allen and Connie through various CWRU and community events. Allen will be greatly missed. So sorry for your loss. Joan Ainsworth

Allen was a true man of accomplishment, achievement, virtue, and a pillar of the Greater Cleveland community. I was honored to know him and work with him in his advocacy for the arts and social services. He was generous to support my political efforts, and always smiling and a terrific friend to spend time with. May his memory be eternal.

Thank you for your very brave service to our country ! God bless you
