He did it all, and he did it with grace, wisdom, and generosity. He will be missed.

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.
