My heart goes out to you all. Twenty years ago I lost my only brother at a similar age. He reminded me a lot of Allen, independent enough to leave an established family business and develop his own successful business. Very giving to his community both publicly and privately . He will be missed by all and his Values will be shared by many for years to come. May God bless . Bill & Cindy Cook
