Allen was a friend of mine since age 3 since we were neighbors. He and I were inBoy Scouts and Explorer Scouts together and I think He Began his scouting career with being a role model to my girl friend's brother Michael. They were canoe partners at Region 10 Canoe Base. Allen was alays a big strapping guy who was my rock band's equipment manager and rescued me from alot of heavy liftinmg. From as early as I can remember Allen loved working with his hands and he revered his grandpa Hutchison who he spent every minute he could with helping at Mr Hutc hison's floundary. I remember in fifth grade when Allen scratch built one of the machines at the foundary for a science project. More than anyone else I have ever known, Allen was a self made man who used his military experience as a combat engineer to create a successful swimming pool construction and repair business and who built a loving family through his kindness, love,m gratitude and appreciation of all that life had given him. Some people squander the gifts that have , Allen was a man who used every gift to the utmost to make him a very special person. Now that he is gone, Iiss him very much
