Always remember Robbie Belz, Allen and myself sitting on Allens porch on Fife Street . Poochie as we called him back then always had a pocket full of change for Balsams (the candy store) and he would jingle his coins in his pocket. He always had a smile on his face and never a harsh word. We are there right now as I type! Robbie and I are stll best friends and speak of Allen often.

Allen was a great childhood friend. Robbie Belz and I hung out with Allen and I remember Allen always having change in his pocket and jingling it; we called him Poochie. We went our own ways after his move to the Baker Junior High school side of town but Robbie and I are still best friends and fondly speak of Allen quite often. He was a very nice person.
