Allen Hatfield Jr.

I LOVE YOU DAD!! MISSING YOU LIKE CRAZY.

I served with Allen on the USS PYRO during his time in the USN. Al was well loved by all the crew and was always lifting up our spirits and moral with his sense of humor and love for his shipmates.

Dear Dad,

I thought of you with love today
But that is nothing new
I thought of you yesterday
And the days before that too

I know that you are gone
And no one knows the heartache
As I try to carry on
My heart aches with sadness

Dear Dad,

I often speak your name
Now all I have are memories

Each morning when I awake
I know that you are gone
And no one knows the heartache
As I try to carry on
My heart aches with sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you

"All Day Allen"

We were so sorry to hear of Allen's passing. I knew him through his brother Dennis and played some softball and basketball together. Although I have not seen Allen for 20 years, I fondly remember those times.

I remember Allen from Baker School he was a Great person and a good Basketball Player.
