    Nancy, I am so sorry to hear about Allen. He and Ryan were best buddies growing up. I think of all the time they spent together at the ball park with John. I remember what a picky eater he was and my John nicknamed him "Tuna Noodle". Such fond memories of the boys together. Our prayers are with you.

    There are never quite the words to express the loss of a loved one. But these are the ones we will choose! Allen was a big part of our lives for 19 years. He was always there for Eric when needed, there for me to give me crap and laugh! He always was there to lean on when needed! For as long as I live I will not and wont ever forget his laugh after teasing me, or hearing him do something to Eric and have that same laugh! It is so hard to believe he is gone out of our lives, but his spirit and memory will live on forever in our hearts! Our prayers for his family!

    My heart and prayers go out to Allen's family. Although I didn't know you, I went to highschool with Allen and ocassionally hung out with him in recent years. He was a great soul, a friendly, kind and funny guy who had many friends. It is so tragic that he had to leave this world so soon but God has a plan and we will see him again in Heaven. He passed almost the same time and the same day as my grandfather (Kenneth Williamson) I still can't believe that the world lost two great men on the same day. I pray for peace and comfort to you all during this sad time. I know Allen would want everyone to be laughing and enjoying all the great times and memories with him. God Bless.

    I will miss my bro Allen every day. I was lucky to be able to work with him and see him daily for 16 years, as well as many baseball and football games and all the other good times we had. All my friends and family saw how great a person Al was and we connected on so many things, music, movies, sports and just the laid back good time personality that everyone enjoyed being around. We all are saddened by his passing and pray for his family. God Bless.
