Sorry for your loss. My father served in the same tank battalion with Allen in WWII. I had the pleasure of visiting by phone and email with Allen several years ago. I was putting together the 717th Tank Battalion - WWII group on Facebook for families to share pictures and stories. He was very helpful in sharing information on the unit. RIP sir.
I met Allen Jones over a year ago at Marsha and Eric’s home. He was a very interesting person to talk to. He was a Life Time Member of the American Legion and VFW. He liked going to the Legion meetings and eating Richard Wilson’s fish and VFW meetings and eating Cary Cox’s chicken and dumplings and cake. He always enjoyed food and fellowship. He would tell stories about his pet squirrel jumping up in hands, meeting Donald Trump and many more stories. He always talked about missing his wife and on our way to meetings. I know they are very happy today. I am so Blessed to have spent time with him. Robby
