My uncle Ed Allen was a true family man, a person of deep conviction, an avid sports fan, a devoted father to his children’s endeavors; and always willing to engage in good conversation on the topics of the day. He will be missed by many.
Frank and I would like to express our sincere condolences to the Allen family. I am sure he will be greatly missed by his beloved family and friends.
I was sorry to read of Mr. Allen ‘s death. His son Kelly used to sit with me on the bus all the time, and I was so fond of him. My sympathy goes out to the family.
We are very saddened to hear of your loss and are thinking of you all. We have wonderful memories of all the years over which we’ve spend time together, and will miss Ed’s great smile, laughter and stories at the reunions. Our deepest condolences and love to you all.

I am so sorry to hear of Ed’s passing. I’m sure there will be a neighborhood picnic waiting for him when he gets up there. He was always a patient man when it came to us neighborhood kids. I always thought of him as a great guy, great father and a wonderful husband to Barb. I know he will be missed.
I ‘m so sorry my family and I weren’t able to be with you today. Ed will be missed by all.
Love, Janice
My Dad will miss chatting with Ed. They’ve had decades of conversations as they took breaks from their yard work.
What great neighbors you all have been to this annoying little kid. I am so sorry for your loss.
This photo so beautifully captures Ed’s warm, friendly welcome whenever I was home for a visit.
I know that you will carry on the great legacy of your parents. God bless you.
