Notes for Allen Roy Thomas: Allen was a big guy, just over 6 feet tall.
He loved his family. He and Beverly, his wife had been to Florida and Allen wanted to take the girls to see the ocean. On their next vacation, Allen and Beverly took the girls to Florida and stayed, I believe, in the house of some friends. Allen was so anxious to take the girls to see the ocean, that on that first morning there he left Beverly at the house and took the girls to the beach. They were playing Frisbee when he had a heart attack. The paramedics were on the beach and were at his side in a couple of minutes but he had died from a massive heart attack.
Beverly had Allen cremated in Florida and brought his ashes home. The last I knew they had not been interred anywhere.
