Condolences & Tributes
Add A CondolenceHey Al, you were Loved. You did so much in life for the positive. God loves you - JOB 14:13 & 14
My mom and dad's canasta card playing buddy along with wife Gracie. They became close friends of our family. Very good man.💕🙏
Allen was my brother-in-law for 54 years. He loved to play games. It didn't matter if it was cards or dominoes as long as he thought he could win. He usually did especially if I was playing opposite him. He thought it was the greatest thing ever if he won against me. His favorite saying was "I gave it to you" if I won. Well, Allen, you gave it to me one last time. So, now, it is your turn to RIP and I will see you some day. Love you bunches, your sister-in-law, Geneva Tomlin 12/2/25
