I am so sorry to hear of your loss I know you will miss him. I know I didn't talk to him very often any more but I did enjoy calling him on his birthday every year. I know he missed Jean after her passing so he is not alone any more.

Allen was always ready to help my mom and dad whenever they needed some maintenance on their home. He obviously enjoyed the work and helping people as well. I will always be grateful to him for his kindness and willingness to help them when they were unable to do things for themselves.

My condolences to the family of Allen McClish. He was such a wonderful man, devoted husband and will surly be missed by all who knew and loved him. I met Allen and his lovely wife thru my sister and brother-in-law, Sue and Jack Jacobs. I did enjoy listening to Allen talk about his earlier days working in Jonesboro.
May God bless you all,
Jean Lee
