Bart was a very dear friend of my Dad and mom in Barberton Ohio. Dad and Bart worked together in the B&W steel factory. Bart had a gentlemen's garden at my dad's place. It was such a joy to see Bart dabbling in the garden with my dad. He was always so kind and gentle to all of us! RIP Mr. Allen!

Ron and Nancy,
He took me to get singing jobs,he brought me and my family food, he saved my marriage through kind counsel,he made me laugh with his jokes and kidding,and provided a honorable role model to my family.
Most importantly when he spoke of Nancy and Ronnie there was a pause and a deep love and concern for your best interest that was his hearts desire,,, you were his true treasure.Whenever I think of you two I see him in you the good character.He was what God intended a man to be.
