WILLIAM H. ALLEN

I first met Bill when I was a 2nd year associate at C & B. I was assigned to work with him -- for half of my time. The year was 1975 and there were only a handful of female lawyers at the firm. Bill was a wonderful mentor and a friend. He always treated me fairly, with respect, and warmth. I loved working with him and I learned so much from him ... particularly about writing. I was honored that he came to my retirement party two years ago when I ended my career of 30 years of law school...

Bill was a wonderful friend. I first met him as a student at Deep Springs and we kept up our connection through the years. He had the liveliest, probing mind I have come across and it was always a treat to catch up with him. I miss him deeply.

Uncle Bill will always play a part in some of my best memories. He and Aunt Joan gave my mom, myself and Ben refuge and help when we needed it most and continued to be an important influence in our lives. He lived a great life quietly.

Bill shared his wonderful insights and thoughts with us in our Tuesday short story group. I will miss him Gerald Stern

I am very sorry for your loss.

May the peace of God be with you.
