Wow...how do you sum up all the memories & emotions into a fitting remark? We will never forget walking into the Fenton Lanes & there sat Deb & Allen...our new bowling partners...& our lives changed forever! Oh..the laughs, the warm friendship, the endless memories of traveling, Safety Meetings, deck building & Bacardi! Mostly, he was the BEST example of how a man shold love a woman & how to be loyal to friends. Cheers, Allen! You left a remarkable legacy....& a hole as big as your beloved...
