It does not seem like it has been another year since Allen's passing. God be with all of you. A beautiful soul was lost, and he loved all of you so much. He always had time to listen and be there. That is just the kind of man he was. He gave so much and never expected anything in return. Allen, you will always be missed and never forgotten.

My sympathy goes out to Allen's family. It seems like I just lost you yesterday. I miss our talks, your smiling face, contagious laugh and loving eyes. You always wanted me to believe that everything would be ok but us being connected empaths, we both knew that it wouldn't be . I saw your kids grow up and they were very lucky to have a father like you. Your love just spilled over on them. I will have all of you in my prayers. God be with all of you. I hope you are still coaching baseball and enjoying all of your sports.

Allen was very special to me and he will always be in my heart. He loved his work because he loved helping people, even though it was very stressful for him. He loved kids and he loved coaching them. He was a beautiful empath who had an abundance of love to give. I will forever miss him.

When our son was in baseball, Coach Allen was always so encouraging and kind-hearted. Being a new baseball parent, I would often ask him questions and get advice from him. His passing is a tremendous loss to North Reading and baseball. Thank you, to the family of Allen, for sharing him with the rest of the community for so many years.
