I just learned of Allen's passing. I worked with Allen at the law school in Dayton. I am still there. I greatly appreciated Allen's guidance when I began my teaching career, and I so enjoyed his enthusiasm regarding his job and his genuine interest in the law. He will be missed.

Hi Blake,
Thank you for this thoughtful tribute! I do remember you pleasantly at the law school and hope you and your family are doing well.
Allen's remains were laid to rest yesterday at the Santa Fe National Cemetery in a small family funeral with a military salute.
Best regards.
