Allen and Mary, made a dynamic duo for St Timothy’s Catholic Church! I met them, through the Bible Study, they both created. Allen was so wonderful and all I can remember him saying at Bible Study was, “alright, any questions or comments and are we ALL on the same page here?” Loved hearing his stories and interpretations of the Bible.
As Fr Jerry said , today, at the wake, it’s all about LOVE and Allen knew what the word meant!! Andrea and Pilar Leon

“So sorry to hear. A wonderful man. Glad l got the opportunity to go to his classes and to meet him. He was such a good teacher. I will miss him.

It was an honor and blessing to know Allen for over 20 years, even before we were on the same "Team" in Christ Renews His Parish at St. Timothy's in 2003. Allen and I served many years after on another RCIA "Team" catechizing new converts entering the Church, and his specialty was teaching them Scripture, especially the Old Testament, since he was a convert and Catholic of Jewish origin. He was never a shooting star, but always a guiding light. In addition, for many, many years he held Bible Study classes. God sent many blessings upon him for being a man of deep Faith and Spirituality. Though we all terribly miss him, his gifts, and mannerisms, We cannot weep for someone who has LEFT MORE IN LIFE, THAN HAS TAKEN OUT.
I especially thank Almighty God for making Allen an important thread in the fabric of my life.
And to Mary, one day the happy memories of Allen will make you smile again instead of cry.
We sincerely send healing prayers and comfort to you Mary, and to your families. There are no words to fully express the sadness we share with you. We feel honored to have known Allen as Bible Study teacher and dear friend. His kindness and dedication have touched and changed our lives forever. Rest In Peace, Allen. May you reap your reward in Heaven for being God’s good and faithful servant.
Bill and Pat
My mom, sister, brother-in-law and I visited you and Mary in 2014. One day we had spaghetti and meatballs….you loved having Italian sauce!!!
You were a quite, soft spoken and kind person with a big heart. RIP Allen 🙏
