Also, his love Nancy Griggs who shared the last 7 years of his life with him and they had so much fun and never had a fight! At the age of 83 he found he had a 1/2 brother Gary Puckett and 1/2 sister Sylvia Coverdale and got to spend time with them. He grew up in the Pacific NW and lived here his entire life. He was a hard worker who always had at least 1 but often several jobs and had many talents. He eventually became a photographer for the Washington State Patrol and then his private Photography Studio, Ron Allen Photography in Olympia. He took pictures of so many local events and was a staff photographer at the Puyallup Fair for 47 years.. Golfing, biking, walking & some fishing kept him active. His love of golf took him to become a steward at The Valley Golf Course. He loved playing poker and pool at the Elks club and was part of a group that played together for 50 years. He has been loved by many because of his infectious positive attitude and welcoming personality. He loved a good solid handshake, even on the day he passed. He had 30 years of retirement and enjoyed traveling and so much more. With a great sense of humor and happy nature, he had many friends for over 50 years. He accepted everyone unless they crossed him. Dad, you are already missed and I hope you get all the M&M's you can possibly eat.
