To Allen's family I wish to offer my condolences on your loss. Allen and I were runners, students, and friends; and, since, I have missed visiting him after graduation from high school, I feel a personal loss too. We knew each other for such a short while, a long time ago; but that time was memerable.

May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rain fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.
*Our love and condolences to the Forsbacka Family and for now we say, Good Night Al. See you again some day.

It saddens my heart to hear of this loss, I used to live next door to this family growing up and recall them taking me to the circus and I was so nervous I got sick. I remember him taking such good car of that old but beautiful mustang. I pray for his family during this loss. May they find peace.

I was saddened learning of Allen's death. I remember him all the way back to J.Enos Ray Elementary School - I had quite a crush at the time; we would occasionally walk home from school together - maybe 5th, 6th grade. I remember him saying he wanted to be a carpenter, and I remember him being a truly nice guy. To his family - May your memories bring you peace and comfort.
