Allen spent many of his adult years helping to run their family farm in Ensign and took pleasure in saying he was a farmer. He loved his family, his land, and animals. Allen would happily talk about the good old days whenever he had the opportunity, and had an amazing ability to recall even the finest details of his experiences. He also proudly spoke of his Swedish and Native American heritage. In his later years, Allen found joy in finally owning horses, a lifelong dream of his, spending many happy hours caring for Big Dan and Champion. Allen loved challenging his mind and playing checkers. He will be remembered as a great conversationalist and teller of stories, but most especially by the riddles he loved to share with people. Allen will be remembered and deeply missed by those who loved him.
