Jack Allen

Post by Toptech360 »

In memory of my father inlaw, Jack Allen. Jack passed away in the evening of July 12, 2016. One of the nicest guys i have ever met. My roadster was his. He purchased it new in 1964 in orange county California. He fought the good fight and we are all thankful he is finally at peace.

What a great tribute from an obviously caring Son-in-Law. I am sorry for your loss. May Jack Allen rest in peace.

Driving a Roadster in Heaven... All the roads are twisty, but well marked! Sorry to hear of your loss, but always remember what you gained by knowing him and loving him... That lives on forever and is what life is all about. Every time you drive your car he is with you.
Enjoy the ride.

Sorry to hear of your loss but he will always be with you and the car. Enjoy the car as I am sure he did. Very nice tribute-not many son-in-laws would even bother.

Thanks all, for the nice things to say. Him and I got along really well, and I always enjoyed listening to his stories. The one about towing a ski boat from Anaheim to Lake Havasu behind his roadster was a great one! He said from behind it justed looked like a boat driving down the road. I can only imagine some of the looks he received lol.
