Allen was a lot of things to many different people.For many years I called my best friend.He taught me how to dress. Always a snappy dresser. A trend setter. He taught me how to dance, very important back in the day. He taught me how to talk to girls, brought me out of my shell(ironic isnt it), He taught me tolerance of others. Most importantly, he taught me confidence and to stand up for myself. All of these traits I'd like to think I still possess. He had the ability to move within different social circles that was impressive. Never a bad word for others. Friends with everyone. His stunning smile and dynamic laugh drew others to him. Im really going to miss him.
"Vaya con Dios" my friend.

Allen was a positive, fun, enlightened person and he will be missed. I had a wonderful conversation with him last summer at the 35th Fairview reunion...a wonderful memory from an old Junior High School and High School friend. May he rest in peace.

When Allen was at Boulder High for a while, we were Thespians together, and he directed a play I was in. I always remember his generous spirit and smile....RIP.
Allen was such a sweet, caring man and was so happy when he adopted Faith.

I didn't know him very long. He was part of the V-Day production that I am a part of at this time. He was so kind and sweet. I am very saddened he is not with us. We will do this performance in his memory. I know he is in a place more fun than here!
The performance is called A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant, And A Prayer. If you would like more info contact:
