extensive career he pridefully worked on many high profile projects both in the San Francisco Bay

Mitchell Mansion restoration in San Francisco, CA in 2007.

Over the course of his life he would marry, and be blessed with two daughters and a son. Purchasing a

house with property in Sebastopol, CA where he would further develop his great love of horses and

western culture. His love for these magnificent animals would find him purchasing and stabling many

horses over the years, with fond memory of his trusted horse Yankee. His commitment and skill in

horsemanship resulted in service with the San Francisco Sheriffs Mounted Police Unit.

Allen's love for America, made him a proud and patriotic citizen. His love of Americana was present

with his appreciation of Elvis, John Wayne, and Country music. His love of American classic cars was

evidenced in his purchase and restorations, of two classic Chevy Impalas.

Following his retirement Allen would move to Washington State, taking up residence in Gig Harbor. He

would live these past 16 years in a grand residence on serene forested property.

extended family of which there are too many to name, each contributing in great part to his personal

happiness and well being. The senior members of that group are his sister Valerie, and his surviving

siblings.
