Our dad, Bill Allen, was one of a kind. He loved his family and friends. He was such a talented artist. He was a real sign painter and craftman. It seems like there wasn't anything he couldn't do. I would love for other people to share some photos... He will be missed. On behalf of the family I want to thank everyone for their kind words and condolences.
