Son was patient for 25 years with leighs disease.was in Clinical Research Unit for months  1971. Great Doctor. Great hospital.we were. Ery fortunate to know him.best to family.

Dr. Allen was not only a brilliant physician he cared. He took care of my daughter for five years when she lived at CPH. He gave the news straight forward yet always had the best manner about him. With my daughter he was always an optimist even though neither of us knew what the outcome would be. I miss him so much..I need a good cry. This man made UofM better with his skills and his smile. May you Rest In Peace, Dr Allen. I love you but you knew that. Our girl is doing much better because of you.

Dr. Allen was my mentor, my training director, the man who got me started and the one who co-authored so many of my early research publications.  I owe him everything, and was so happy to be able to give him an award some years ago.  Every child neurologist in the US owes him a debt, but very few know just how much he did to create our profession and to ensure its success.  And perhaps few people (other than me) know how kind and thoughtful he was to me and to his patients.  His legacy will live forever.

Richard Allen will be remembered as a pioneer in the establishment of pediatric neurology at the University of Michigan.  He was a tireless advocate for his patients and their families.  He was a major force in establishing screening for metabolic diseases in the newborn throughout Michigan.  He was devoted to teaching medical students and trainees in neurology and will be remembered by all of them.  Jean and I send our best wishes and condolences to his family.
