I worked with Allen at Farm and Home back in the 90s. He was always a very kind and professional man. He had this quiet humor that used to just crack us up daily but then would walk away with a "who me?" smile which always made us all start laughing again. He loved his family and talked about his wife and young children all the time. May his memory be a blessing to his family.

I will always remember Allen's selflessness during his years on the highschool wrestling team and his contributions during NEMO fairweek. I will miss a good friend and a great man. My heart goes out to his family. Sincerely, Greg Besgrove
