Not sure what to say?

To the Allen family: please accept my condolences. I briefly worked on a quantum chemistry problem with Dr. Allen during my post-doctoral years at Princeton (1971-73) and got to know him as a highly humane and caring person who made important social as well as scientific contributions.

My sincere condolences to the Allen family. I met Mrs Allen once and worked closely with Ethan in the '80s. As a former runner, I probably ran next or behind Prof. Allen in the Midland Run w/o knowing he was a runner. I was always impressed by his huge knowledge as a professor. Ethan related his passing to me. I will pray for you Carol to ease your pain.

Deep condolences to the Allen family.
We are sorry to hear about the loss of your love one.May you find comfort in Psalm 145:18.

So sorry to hear of Lee's passing. I interacted with him frequently at Princeton in the 70's. His enthusiasm and energy will be missed.
