Just reminiscing about Bobby more than 10 years after his passing. He was the nicest guy, always upbeat and happy. I remember him as a good roofer, a Walmart guy, and he liked to cruise the local parks. He could make most people smile just being his good-natured self. I miss seeing him, and I miss being with him, ever so how. God bless you Bobby Allen. I never will forget you as a very special friend—Love always and forever.

I am surprised that only 3 people left messages since the passing of Bob Allen. He was the nicest man, loving life so much, roofing and “Walmarting”. God bless this lovely man. I truly do miss him.

Thinking of Mr. Bobby Allen. It will be 13 years July 1 since he left this world. He was the nicest guy, and was liked by so many. I still can picture him working at Walmart, and driving around in his pickup truck. I miss him. Let the memories live on.
