Allen Eugene Palmquist Sr.

Both my sons and I remember Allen so well and fondly from the days of youth ice hockey at the Clayton Shaw Park rink in the late sixties and seventies when they played with his son Allen Jr. He was always full of energy supporting everyone. My sons, Stephen in Brooklyn, NY and Ethan in Phoenix and I extend our deepest sympathy to all the family. We will always remember his outgoing spirit and graciousness well.

To the Palmquists,
You are in our thoughts and prayers!
With love, Jill (Hardy) Ruvidich, Ned, Emily & Allison

Lil, Jackie, Judi, Allen, Suzie, and families, we pray that you feel God's loving presence as you mourn the loss of your beloved Al. We pray that God's love and the memories of all the laughter and love Al shared will sustain you. He was truly an extraordinary man.

My dear friend Jackie, Mrs. Palmquist and entire Palmquist clan,
My heart goes out to you all. I remember still meeting your father as he packed the wagon on our last day at MU (it was STUFFED), then again at weddings and baby showers. His charismatic and genuine demeanor - it drew people in. It was a gift to see you all together in MI this summer. I caught him beaming looking at all of you as he sat with your mom in the lounger. Lucky to have that time and such a great family. ...

My dear friend Jackie, and Mrs. Palmquist and entire Palmquist clan, my heart goes out to all of you. I remember still meeting your Dad at MU (packing the car STUFFED the last day freshman year) and then again years later at our graduation party for parents, weddings and baby showers. His charismatic and genuine demeanor - it drew people in. It was a gift to see you all together this summer in MI. I caught him beaming - looking at your group together on the beach as he sat with your...

Jackie: Your Dad was a wonderful man and will live in your heart forever. One of his greatest accomplishments was raising you into the amazing woman you are today. To Mrs. Palmquist, Suzie, Judi and Allen -- I am thinking of you all in your time of sorrow. May your strength prevail to help you through this difficult time. I am with you all in spirit.

Mrs. Palmquist, Judi, Allen, Jacquie, Suzie and your families, please accept our sincerest condolences. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Mr. Palmquist was one of my favorite people and a true gentlemen. He always made people feel special and welcome. He was one of a kind and will be sorely missed. Too many good memories of your dad to mention. Jason, Stacy, Jordan, and Jennifer Mason (Altamonte Springs, FL)

For all the family, I trust that happy memories of Allen's life will, in time, displace the pain of his passing.
Though I had last spoken with him a dozen or more years ago at an Easter Vigil Mass, he was hard to miss as he drove around town in the Avanti, and each holiday season I'd swing by to catch Claverach Park's version of the 'Winter Wonderland.'
No doubt all our contemporaries who went to Clayton schools, played Clayton hockey, or simply grew up in Clayton realize they...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Judy, I have many memories of your families from the Maryland School days. It must be difficult loosing a parent. May God be with all of you.
