"Allen wasn't at our school for long, but in that short amount of time it was clear to me he was a genuinely kind person with a heart of gold. Allen stood for what was right, not necessarily what was easy. I will always appreciate his straightforward approach, honesty, and caring attitude. My thoughts are with his family & friends at this very difficult time.
