Jim Allen

Jim was a founding board member of Hidden Harvest - among the most supportive and generous friends the organization, or I, have even had. We are all so very sad at his sudden passing and mourn together with Barbie, Matthew, and Karen and his many many friends around the country and the world. Jim is irreplaceable as a friend and true believer in our mission for a healthier world. You will miss you every day ...

Jim, a Clearwater High School and WSU graduate, may have left this earth but will be forever in our hearts. I see him live on through his grandchildren, Bobby, Riley, Kimmie and Auttumn, and his great grandchildren, Ryatt and Elye. He was a wonderful, loving, intelligent man with a heart of gold and the endless drive to spread his love, knowledge and wit, wherever his travels took him. He was larger than life! His family was blessed to have had him and we all look forward to seeing him again...

My memories of Jim (James Corliss Allen) begin when we were teenagers. We were 1st cousins on the Allen side and he was 3 years older than I. Jim lived in Wichita, KS, and I lived in El Reno, OK. Jim would either fly in an airplane to El Reno, with his friend, Stuffy Stoffer (at the age of 16-17, can you imagine?), or ride down with his friend in a car. They would take my girlfriends and me riding around, laughing and having a great time. Then, in our 20's and '30's, Jim would either fly...
