James Howison "Jim, Papa, Papa Jim, Uncle Jimbo" Allen

The first time I met Uncle Jimbo was standing in the dining room Grandma's Kitty's , the last time I saw him was peeling shrimp at the Chinese buffet for his lovely wife. I got a hug and I'll cherish and remember it forever.

Thank you Mr. Allen for always having an open door through my youth. Many of my childhood memories have your presence in them. Your example of kindness and acceptance has brought up more than one generation of truly loving people. You have been a blessing to
this earth and to those around you. My condolences to family during this hard time of loss.

Papa was a gem! Truly one of a kind.. His shenanigans and sense of humor will often be missed. He had a heart of gold and really was just the best version of himself always with everyone . Blessed were we who had him and now have countless cherishable memories to hold onto . Rest easy Papa

Uncle Jimbo visited me in Forest Grove. We went to a picnic at another relative´s house. Uncle Jimbo was eating bbq potato chips, and my toddler son, Zac kept helping himself to Unlce Jimbo´s chips. Everyone was laughing so hard.
