My deepest condolences to the family!! John and I met in 1996 and we became the best of friends. We traveled together, partnered on business ventures, shared common interests, and just enjoyed great conversation and camaraderie. We shared a healthy competition that made each of us better, and we could engage in intense conversations that somehow, always ended with us smiling and still friends, largely because of a strong, mutual respect. John W. Allen, Jr. was a proud man of incredible character, and it was my honor and privilege to call him Friend. I will miss John dearly, but, I know he has gone on to a better place, and we will see each other again. God Bless!!❤
