Not sure what to say?

I miss you Allen so much my Cousin and Godfather.

Fr. Allen was a strong, kind soul with a wonderful way with young adults. I attended Chaminade College Prep when he was there and he taught me so much about myself and my relationship with God. He holds an irrevocable place in my heart. I am grateful to have known him at such a critical time of my life.

Bro DeLong was my trigonometry teacher my senior year, '61/'62, at ARHS. He held "catch up" sessions, for those students interested, late Sunday afternoons. Those sessions were invaluable. A wonderful teacher and role model.

Fr. J.Allen Delong is my cousin, my Godfather and mentor. May name is Jan Lenzini. When I was small, he would send a typed letter too me,checking up my school work and grades. A phone calls or having fun on a Saturday collecting newspapers too raise money for a school cause.especially when Allen was in town. Never a quite table, super good food. Much more but not enough room. Im proud of Allen of all he has done in the 70 years of service. You are love and will be missed. RIP attaching some pics
