After he retired, Allen and Janet bought a motor home and traveled all over the United States. They made it to 49 states, Canada, and Mexico. They never made it to Alaska thanks to his girls and life happening.

Allen enjoyed his family, but also loved to go to the casino for a good round of poker. He also enjoyed playing billiards with his many friends at the local bar, and at the Senior Center on Via Linda and Granite Reef in Scottsdale. He was well loved by everyone and will be missed every day.
