We’re saddened to share the sudden passing of Allen this week. As in his life, he continues to give — the gift of life to many who did not know him through his organ donations.
We know how much Allen embraced life without fear and lived to the fullest each and every day. His bright light will shine even brighter as he is now rejoined with God.
We are comforted and overjoyed by so many beautiful shared memories with him over 74 very full years on earth. We can only imagine the adventures that lie ahead for him.
We will hold a celebration of life in his honor at Christ Church in Summit, NJ, date to be shared.
Shirley, Alexandra and Matthew
