His journey was marked by an unwavering commitment to his loved ones and an infectious humor that could light up even the darkest of rooms. In 1974, Allen answered the call to serve his country, joining the United States Marine Corps. His time in the Corps, until 1978, was a testament to his sense of duty and patriotism, qualities that remained with him long after his military service had concluded. For 37 years, Allen dedicated himself to his craft as a Boilermaker and Steam Fitter, working out of Local 176. His colleagues remember him as an exemplary worker whose quick wit and humor could always bring a smile, even in the most challenging of circumstances. Allen's work ethic was unparalleled, and his ability to lift the spirits of those around him was a gift that touched many lives. Allen had a profound love for the water, often finding solace and joy in fishing and any activity that involved being near the waves. These moments spent on the water were among his happiest, reflecting a deep connection with nature and a desire to embrace life's simple pleasures. Above all, Allen was a devoted family man. He is survived by his beloved wife, Karla Smith Windsor, his daughter, Chanda Marie Windsor, and his son, Shane "Bubba" Windsor. He was a proud grandfather to three adoring grandchildren, who brought immense joy to his life. Allen's family was the cornerstone of his existence, and his love for them knew no bounds. In honoring Allen's life, a private funeral ceremony will be held, allowing those closest to him to cherish and celebrate the memories shared. The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to all who have supported them through prayers and donations during this difficult time. Contributions in Allen's memory can be made to the Humane Society, reflecting his compassionate spirit and love for all living beings.
