He worked with the US Forest Service as a Water Technician for 36-plus years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of Allen\u2019s passions was fighting fires in the west as a fire technician. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, reading and movies. He was quite the storyteller. He loved his family above everything especially his grandchildren. He used any opportunity he could to teach his children valuable life lessons. Allen was a Methodist by faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visitation will be held at the Randolph Funeral Home on Monday from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. Funeral services will be conducted from the funeral chapel on Tuesday, March 1, 2022, at 11 a.m. Rev.
