Allen was a man of many talents, and he was blessed with a heart of gold and a wonderful sense of humor. Helping others was a big part of his life. He was happiest when he was coming up with creative ideas to solve his and others’ problems. He was very technically capable and always ready to lend a helping hand.His wife and son meant everything to him. He loved them dearly and would do anything for them. His love knew no bounds; when Ethan graduated from UW-Stevens Point and took his first job in Alaska, Allen accompanied him on the long road trip. The family enjoyed many camping trips together, exploring new areas and appreciating the wonders of nature throughout the state and country. They had many adventures hiking, bicycling, kayaking, and motorcycling. Allen also enjoyed snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and taking long walks with Barb and Ethan in the Kettle Moraine.Allen had a passion for growing things—especially his raised garden that he built for and inherited from his mother. He always graciously shared his harvest of fruits and vegetables with family and friends. Allen was gifted with woodworking and many other creative talents. When Barb would return from work travels, he would often surprise her with a project he had completed while she was away. Even while ill, he crafted beautiful wood projects for his family and friends that they will treasure always.He was a member of New Life Community Church, where he volunteered his technical skills as the maintenance manager following the remodel of the building. He also gave his talents and time to the KidQuest and Toolbox programs at the church, helping area families with household projects.Although taken too soon, Allen leaves a legacy of undying love and devotion.
