Allen will be missed by his Walmart family! He always had a smile on his face, even when he was in pain. It warms my heart that he and his wife are together again and no longer sick! Rest in Peace, Allen! Prayers to the entire family.

Goodbye Allen. Thanks for the years of service and of mentoring me as a young Soldier. Always a kind word of encouragement regardless of how bad a Soldier was messed up. You were a great Soldier and an even better man.
Fred Langley says
Allen was a great member of the American Legion. I chaired the Indiana High School Oratorical program when he was the 7th District Oratorical Chairman. He was great with our children and youth programs and his last year as District Chairman, Indiana through his District had a National Champion (2012), Rebecca Frazer. Great compassion and veteran. We truly miss him. God bless him and his family.

I am deeply saddened by this news. Allen and Lorene will be greatly missed. I had the pleasure of working with him at walmart until I became CNA certified and starting working at Garden Villa and had the pleasure of caring for Lorene. I will miss them both very much. RIP
Much love and prayers.
Anjeanette says
I love you Allen. You and Lorene are the best example to young folks these days . You never left Grandma’s side and made sure you were always there for her no matter how you were feeling or what the weather was like. I will miss you both so much. Now you may be with her in heaven and no longer suffer.
Love,
Your step-granddaughter Anjeanette Porter
