Allen was born December 26, 1912 on the family farm in Windsor, N.Y. Allen was a hard worker who owned and operated a farm, a saw mill, the Rainbow Motel in Deland, Florida, many stone quarries, and established one of the first Pennsylvania Blue Stone businesses. His stone is still present today at the Susquehanna Community High School and the Statue of Liberty to name a few places. Along his way he generously helped and taught many with his wisdom. He was a lifetime member of the Loyal Order of the Moose Lodge #794. "Big Al" loved to work hard and play hard. Some of his favorite activities were hunting, fishing, boxing, traveling and of course stock car racing. Al will be remembered for his strength, dignity, great smile, laugh and his many tales. He was the best father, grandpa and friend a person could have.
A graveside ceremony will be held at the South Windsor Cemetery, Rt. 79, on Monday, August 11, 2008, at 11:00 a.m., a luncheon at Lakey's Patio in Susquehanna at 12:30, with an Irish Wake immediately following. Flowers may be sent to the Hennessey's Funeral Home, 747 Jackson Ave., Susquehanna, Pa. 18847, or, in lieu of flowers, carry on Al's tradition of helping others and finding the best in every situation. Live life to its fullest.
