Thomas Allen Obituary

Thomas William Allen, age 64, of New Orleans, LA passed away on Tuesday, May 7, 2024. Tom was born in Izmir, Turkey on March 20, 1960, to William Allen and the late Carol McCroskey Allen. He graduated from Lincoln High School in Wisconsin Rapids, WI in 1978 and then studied music at the University of Wisconsin and the University of Minnesota. He enjoyed playing the piano and viola. Tom was employed in the hospitality industry, and resided in Milwaukee, WI, San Antonio, TX, and New Orleans, LA. We have fond memories of spending time with him at the family cottage in rural Wisconsin. Tom will always be loved and missed by his family.
