    Allen was my brother. No step label existed between us. We grew up close as kids. Big sock battles roared until wee hours of the mornings. He and his brother Dale , who passed in 1986 at the age of 14 was his buddy. They would trade punches and horse around all the times. Allen you will be missed for sure. I’ll no longer hear “Hey Jayyy” in that thick southern Indiana accent. No longer hear “ ya tuurd”. Allen moved back to Indiana and it’s was hard to stay as close as we’re used to be. I’d be on duty on my patrol car , he would call me just about every night, or at least text me. He cried when he found out I had diabetes and wished I didn’t have to fight it. He was a loving brother, one I will always cherish and have mementoes of.

    Allen and I were great friends in high school, he always had a smile and a laugh to share with me. As adults we remained friends and he treated my son like one of his own Heaven is a better place with Allen there
