Allen David Morton

Allen was a proud Navy Veteran reporting to the USS Franklin D Roosevelt (CVA-42) January 18, 1959. He served on the flight deck in the air department of Roosevelt through six years and five Mediterranean cruises. During his time on the Roosevelt he was advanced in rating to petty officer second class, promoted to fly three supervisor and awarded the Good Conduct Medal. Allen was recognized for his skills as an aircraft handler, competence as a leader and his cheerful presence as a shipmate. He later was employed by Bristol-Myers in Syracuse, NY for many years until his retirement in 1994 when he moved to the sunshine state. During his retirement, Allen worked for several golf courses in the Groveland area to play the game he loved most, and was honored to meet many pro golfers. He loved Upstate NY in the summer months and his camp at Lebanon Reservoir Campground Hamilton, NY.
