Rest is Peace my friend. Condolences to the family. Love the Jones family.
The Big Al was full of laughter and fun…we as a family counted on him soo much and miss him deeply..
Allen was very kind and taught me a lot while I worked with him . He was great to talk to and I will truly miss seeing him around. I wish his family peace and comfort.
Allen and I work together for many years. We live down the street from each other. I could all depend on Allen to get my pecans for my holiday cooking. To the Family remember What is Loved Remains in the heart.

I am still in shock that you’re gone. Allen was the best stepdad anyone could ask for. I’ll miss our laughs we would share and while you are gone way too soon, I take comfort in knowing that one day I will see you again.
I was so shocked to hear of Allen’s passing. Allen delivered envelopes to our department for years and wasl always so nice. He will be missed. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends.
