Allen Ray Tappe

I cut Allen´s hair for many many years. Until he said " there´s not that much to cut any more Michele". The kindest, gentle, caring person. We had great conversations and he was always true to his Lord and Savior. I pray for his family in these sadden times. Michele Duvall

Beth Laukhuf Oct 9 2023 My first memory after moving 6 times during my school years and different cities it was heaven to be part of the LD BELL tennis team. Cal Hopkins was the most incredible coach and person I had ever meet. The team was just as incredible and welcoming. Right away Allen became a friend l enjoyed arguing,joking , teasing and being so competitive with on the track. You see Coach had us warm up to running 2 1/2 miles everyday. Only time I beat Allen was when he let me....

I remember Alen from when he was an unusually handsome young mortgage man. He called on our offices. I never knew him well at all, but there were always smiles, laugher and happiness when he was around. I also remember that he was an openly Christian man at a time when most of us were not. He had principles and stood by them.

Allen would come by our real estate office. Probably the best time of all. He was so inspirational to me.

To all of Allen's family, my prayers are with you as you grieve the passing of this man of faith. He was an inspiration to many.

So glad to have had classes with Allen. We are distant and cannot attend the Celebration of Life, but our hearts are with you. ~~ JP and Linda (Norton) Johnson
