Let me tell you something...Allen Smith is the greatest man we've ever known. Everyone he came in
contact with absolutely loved him. Anyone from a stranger walking down the street to his grandchildren
are better people for knowing him. He leaves a legacy that emphasizes education, military service,
hard work, and above all else, family. His most cherished achievement was the love he shared with his
wife and soulmate, Susan. Allen's positivity and verve for life lives in all of us because of him. He will
forever live in our minds, hearts, and souls.
