Allen was born to William Rome and Vivian Pauline Cornelison on April 4, 1951. Allen grew up loving the country fresh air, where he enjoyed hunting, fishing, and anything else he could do in the outdoors. After graduating high school, he was self-employed and started up his own business working on and moving manufactured homes, which was very successful. He was a handyman of all sorts and could figure out how to build just about anything. He loved his cowboy hats, dancing to good music, putting together model cars and boats, working cars, and working hard to support his family. He loved the beach and could spend hours on end looking out into the ocean. Rita and Allen found love and friendship together that he cherished greatly. He was very proud of his family and loved them very much. Allen will be greatly missed but will always be found in the hearts of his loved ones.
A Graveside Service for Allen will be held Tuesday, September 8, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. at Redbank Cemetery, East Shaw Avenue, Clovis, CA 93619.
