Debbie, Aubrey and Amanda,
I know this time of the year will be hard for all of you, it is for me every year and it had been 6 years since my dad died. Keep yourselves busy, look at lots of photos, remember the happy times and know that your family is there if you need us. I think of you all often and wish that I could make it all better. I know this year has been the worst, lets just all hope that the years to come are better and get easier. I love you all, Happy Holidays!!! You too FRED!!

To the Allen Family,
Sorry for the late entry.( This online book is all new to me.)I did not know a Fred, or a Michael. Sometimes a Mike when he was in trouble with the teacher. We knew him as "Cotton" and that's who we grew to love. We were the best of friends in highschool. Not many guys around you could unload trucks with, then go study Shakespeare and Calculus, then ski all weekend at the lake.(and eat the world's best fried potatoes)The trouble is you go off to college,raise a family, pursue your career and lose touch with some people that really meant so much! May God bless all of you in your time of sorrow. I will miss him dearly but always have that very mischievous smile of his to remember. - Brad Loeffelholz

To the Allen family, I was very sorry to hear about your loss.
I met Fred in Perth while working for Kerr McGee. I have a vivid picture in my mind of Fred sitting back after a game of golf watching a beautiful sunset in Perth being totally at peace.
We will miss him.

To Debbie & Family. Our sincerest sympathy for the loss of such a wonderful man. Ken had the privilege of working with Fred at Kerr McGee over the past few years and held him in the highest regard. We both had some memorable times with Fred whilst he was in Perth and it seems hard to imagine that he is no longer with us. He always had a huge smile on his face when he spoke so fondly of yourself and the girls. Only a week before his sad passing we received one of his friendly emails and as usual it put a smile on our face. We will always remember him as the true and kind gentleman that he indeed was. Gone but certainly not forgotten.
Best regards
Rhonda & Ken Yakimishyn

To all of Mike's family & friends, I want to express my appreciation to all those that have either sent flowers,wrote letters,attended services,attended visitation,wrote condolances &/or kept Mike (& our family)in your thoughts & prayers. Please know that during this tragic time these are what keeps us going. I talked to many during the 1st few days after the accident & reaffirmed what I already knew, that my brother was loved by all. To Debbie ,Aubrey, & Amanda, please know that Sherrie, Shawn, Shane & I love the 3 of you very much & I will do anything you need me to do. Once again thanks to all during our time of need. Mitch

To the Allen Family: Please accept my deepest regrets on the loss of Fred. I followed Fred from Longview to Midland to Dallas to Oklahoma City to Houston. To anyone who knew Fred, he was considered a friend. There are no amounts of words that can ease the grief you feel, and will feel for some time to come. His leaving so suddenly is especially hard to overcome. The best I have ever seen was written by Robert E. Lee to his wife on the passing of their granddaughter. He said he cried tears of joy when he thought of their granddaughter sitting beside their blessed Jesus. May this thought give you some relief during this time. The hole that has been ripped in your lives will never be healed, but if you concentrate on the joys you were able to have, the scar becomes much more bearable. We will all remember Fred for the great individual he was, and feel greatfull for the time we did know him. Again, my deepest sympathies.

Fred was the greatest man to work for. We had a great mutual respect for each other's abilities. Our sincerest sympathies with Fred's family - from all the Australian Project team members - now scattered thoughout the world, looking for another Fred Allen to work for. Big Guy Indeed!

I met Fred briefly in 2002 and found him to be a vibrant and fun person to be around. It was one of those meetings where I was left thinking I would like to spend more time with this person. My heart is with you his family, who he told us all about.

Deb, Aubrey, and Amanda,
Again, I want to say how sorry I am for your lose. This is going to be such a difficult time, but I want you to know your in my prayers. For me, loosing Fred was loosing a part of Tom all over again. As James said, "they were inseparable". Fred was such a great guy, and he was so sweet to occassionaly call to check on me and the girls. Deb, always treasure the memory of his love he had for you and the girls, and also how proud he was of being a husband and father. That may give you strength as you go through this. Please take care and remember, we love you and will be here for you. Brenda

Debbie and girls, Rhonda and I are very heartbroken, My memories of my cousin Mike, from childhood to when he would make the occasional Oklahoma visits, will keep him present in our mind and hearts forever. There is so many things about MIke that come to mind, although I think the firm handshake, the huge smile, always ready to get in on a practical joke, or just join in with his unique laughter. Our prayers are with the family. Paul and Rhonda Allen, and family

To Debbie and family, we extend our deepest sympathies and prayers during this very difficult time. Find comfort in knowing that though Fred is no longer in our world he now resides in the ultimate home. Remember that you are never alone as God will always be with you for comfort, strength, and guidance.
All who ever knew, or met, Fred share the grief of this tragic loss. Any event or gathering that Fred attended, or endeavor in which he was involved, had a special 'Fred flair" creating fond memories for us all. His ever smiling attitude, quick wit, and lighthearted and caring personality have made the 20+ years that I've known Fred as a friend and colleague more enjoyable for all. We'll truly miss you "Big Guy".

Aunt Debbie, Aubrey and Amanda,
Im so sorry to hear about Uncle Fred. I don't think there is anything I could say to ease the pain you three are feeling. Fred always welcomed Ken and I with open arms, and he always made me laugh. I know this is hard for you all , but remember that he is in a better place now. You all are in my prayers.
Love always,

April 28, 2004
Fred was not a close personal friend of mine but I did consider him a friend. We were business associates, we did business together and occasionally had lunch together. There were a couple of things about Fred that always stood out to me. First and foremost it was that great smile and the cordial greeting he always had for me when we met for any reason. Second was the automatic presence of honor and integrity he unobtrusively projected in all walks of life that came across in all his conversations with me.
Our industry and society have lost a great contributor and we have lost a great friend and family man.
May God bless and protect you and your family.
Dr. M. Elbert Coker & Staff

I had the great pleasure of knowing this fine man. I told several fellow oilpatch friends today that we lost one of the finest people that I have ever met in this business.

Fred always had a friendly smile for everyone - one that said he knew something the rest of us didn't. I'm sure he's smiling now. I'll miss his him but, like all his friends and family, we have a lot of great memories to carry forward. Love, Dante and Donna Caravaggio

My life has been more complete having known Fred. His happy spirit served to motivate me many times. Though several years have passed since I last interacted with him, I can clearly visualize Fred's grin and hear his laughter.... this is what I will always think of when I reflect on my time with Fred. We have lost one of the good guys.

There are no words that can describe what Fred was to me.
I have known Fred for nearly 25 years. He was my best friend at Kerr McGee. He was my co-worker, boss, mentor, friend-to-confide-in, and so much more. He was 'Family', to my Mother, Father and brothers who knew him during the early years at Sun Oil (who are heart-broken). We all loved him so much. We will NEVER forget him.
In my mind I have lost a brother. It was a true "blessing" to know him.
I wish I knew what to say to help you through this time of pain. You are in my prayers.
Debbie, if you need anything at all, day or night, just call I will be there. We are here for you and the girls.
God Bless

My best regards to Fred's entire family in this time of sorrow. Please accept my sincerest sympathy.
Very truly yours,

It is so hard being so far away from all of you right now, please know that you are all in my heart all of the time. Debbie I have so many fun memories of Fred, or should I say Fredly. Skiing trips, beach trips,and even that awesome Las Vegas trip that the four of us shared. Mark said he was the Black Jack King and he will always remember how he was winning and you were taking the money as he won. I know that times ahead are going to be hard but please know that you and the girls are strong and you will get through this. Call me if you need any help sorting things out or anything at all. I love you and I wish that I was there.
Love Laura Lynn

Dear Debbie, I saw Fred a couple of years ago when we were in California for John Woolley and he talked about you and the girls and how much he loved being a husband and a father. We -the old gang from Sun Oil and Valencia - loved him for sense of humor and his smile, and because he was one of the good guys. Fred, you and the girls will always be in our hearts and in our prayers.

Fred was a good friend, good colleague, and a good man. His sense of fairness and sense of humor drew people from all over the patch to him. He is already missed.
Fred is in a better place now. Praise God for that!
Our prayer go up for Deb and daughters.
George Doty
April 26, 2004
My deepest sympathies to Debbie and the girls. Fred was a dear friend of mine for over 15 years and was always there when I needed him. Fred had helped me and my family in more ways than he realized. My relationship with Fred extended well past any professional dealings. Fred was always a father first. We would have lengthy discussions about his children and mine. We would have business luncheons and never discuss business; it was always about Debbie and the girls. Fred was very proud of his family. He always wanted to know the latest on my family and how they were progressing in life. I know his job took time away from his family but they were always on his mind. He loved his family and was a dear friend. I will miss him.
Jesse, Roni, Lance & Victoria Allen

Debbie, Aubry and Amanda,
Debbie you are like a sister to me and we have "grown" up together, physically and spiritually, I love you so much!!!
We love you here at the Allen's house in Katy and at our church Grace Fellowship, we love this song and want to write it here in Honor of Fred.
Blessed Be Your Name
In the land that is plentiful
Where your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be your name
Blessed Be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed Be Your name
Every blessing you pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in
Still I will say
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name
Blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's 'all as it should be'
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name
You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord Blessed be your name
AMEN! and OU#1! rah-rah!!!

Debbie & Family,
I had so much fun working with Fred these past several years here in Houston. Just before he left work on Friday we joked about him going to HPL this week and how quiet it will be here without him. I will miss him and from the flood of phone calls and emails I've been receiving all morning (making me unable to do anything else!), I can tell what I already knew, that many, many other people will be missing Fred too. He was so well loved here at Kerr-McGee.
God bless you and keep you through this tough time.

All day I have been trying to think of what to write in here.. I guess I can only say that Aunt Debbie, Aubrey, & Mandy I love you guys so much and I hurt so bad knowing what you are having to go through right now. I have nothing but very fond memories of my Uncle Fred. Being that we lived so far apart we rarely got to see one another, but when we did.. I could always count on him to make me laugh. His "electric" smile always made me smile too.. and I am still having a hard time believing that this is really real. I wish we were living closer so I could be there for all of you right now, but I want you to know that my thoughts are with you ... and my heart is there with you as well... All my love. Colisha

--------------------------------- --
I know you're hurting, I can see it in your eyes.
There's nothing I can say or do to ease your heart or mind,
But there's someone you can talk to,
He'll come and ease your pain.
He knows your every thought and prayer,
Just call upon His name.
May He send ten thousand angels strong
To comfort you and guide you through this storm.
