I was very saddened to hear this news. I knew Tommy through my dad and spent many a days on the rifle range with him. He was such a gentle kind hearted man. All of those days were great times and are cherished memories. The world needs more people like Tommy Allen. He was such a great man.

Shirley, So sorry to hear about Tommy. I'm sure the last year has been very difficult for you, Wally & the children. May God comfort you with his "peace that passes all understanding." I have many fond memories of Tommy all the way back to AYF. He was a great guy.
