John "Skip" L. Allen Jr.

He graduated from the University of Florida and became a Navy pilot for 5 years. After earning his MBA and CFA he enjoyed a career as an investment manager.

Skip is survived by his loving wife of 56 years, Terry, daughter Laurie (Doug) of Jacksonville, son Doug (Kara) of Atlanta, and 5 grandchildren Ryan and Lanie Kirchhoff and Adeline, Portman and Myers Allen. He cherished playing golf and tennis with family and friends at San Jose Country Club for over 40 years, but fishing was his real passion! He also enjoyed cheering for his grandchildren at all their sporting events as often as possible.

He was greatly blessed to be involved at Christian Family Chapel for 30 years. He served as an Elder and facilitator for classes and small groups during these years.

Due to current conditions in our world today, his memorial service, conducted by Doug Rutt, will be for family only. In lieu of flowers, any remembrances could be made to Christian Family Chapel, 10365 St. Augustine Road, Jacksonville, FL 32257.
