Allen J. Messing

Allen and I were born the same year and next door neighbors. We were (Double Cousins). Our Dad's were brothers, our Mom's were sisters. We did everything together; started school together, First Sacraments together, Served as Altar Boys together, grades 2-12 together, drove 1956 Chevy's to school, played football, graduated together. We farmed, went hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, played Euchre in a group. We were blessed in so many many ways. I visited Allen shortly before Our Lord...

This is my dad's youngest brother. I spent all of my summers as a kid on my grandpa's farm. Allen was just a kid too a big one though. He was so much fun. I loved milking the cows and doing chores with him. I thought he was the coolest guy ever. Especially because I was a city kid. He taught me to drive tractors and took me wild motorcycle rides. He kinda led away from AM radio to FM with bands like the Yard birds and the Animals. He had so much influence on my adolescence. Allen taught me...

The Sts Peter and Paul Class of 1966 wish farewell to Allen and ask God to grant him the treasure of Heaven. May he rest in peace.
