As many know, Rick had a heart as big, if not bigger, than his sense of humor and his laugh. I think of you often Bro and pray we'll be reunited in heaven. I love and miss you Rick.

Our thoughts and memories of Richard Allen will be with us for a long time to come. We had so many good times, wish we had more. When we meet up again I know Rick will greet us with one of those crazy, creative rap-song-peom things he always came up with!! Our prayers are with Jayme and Andy, two great kids that now have one big goofy angel watching over them thru their journeys in life. Our condolences to the rest of the family and many good friends that were proud to call Richard thier friend. Love ya!
