Offering my sincere condolences to the family, during this time, may you find comfort from the encouraging words found at 1 Thessalonians 4:14

I worked with Jim @ NorthStar BlueScope Steel. He was a kind and genuine man who always was willing to help someone.
An avid golfer, I always tell a story about how he lobbed a golf ball over a 30 ft. tree onto the green @ Valleywood.
You will be missed Mr. Allion. Rest in Peace and know that you touched every life you came in contact with.
