I still miss you daddy.
I heard of Mr. Allen's passing while I was out of town. My condolences to the family. Mr. Allen was a good man who I really respected as my boss. Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.
We are so very sorry for your loss. We are praying for you as I write this. Please know you are in our hearts, minds and prayers.
Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.
Love Mom, Kirsten, Mitchell and family
Nell,
I am so aorry for your loss. Mr. Allen was a fine Christian gentleman who had a positive influence on many poeple. I am thankful to be one of those people. May you and the family know the peace from God which passeth all understanding.
Who/What molds a Child into a responsible Adult? First Mother and Father. Then there was a High School teacher in the early 60's for me. Mr. Allen introduced me to science and made me believe and realize I could do something greater than chop a row of cotton. Later for me the non-scientific tradegy and crewlty of a War in SE Asia. Thank you Mr. Jimmy Allen for taking me to where I could pick up petrified shark teeth. Thank you for inspiring me to believe in facts and not fiction/postulations.
Mrs. Nell: Sorry for your loss. Linda and I will be praying for you and your family./
Scottye, I am so sorry about the loss of your father. It was clear that he was a huge influence on your life. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Mr Jimmy Allen was Princpal/Coach/Mediator/Father to "Many" for a "LOT of YEARS." This Happened in a School in a small town called Dyess Arkansas. When "ALL of US" Who "Grew Up" "UNDER HIM" "Look Back" "WE REALIZE" what "HE DID" was Really "LARGER" than "Most of US" Can "Comprehend." "MY" "HEART","SOUL" AND PRAYERS" "GO OUT" TO "HIS FAMILY", "AMEN."
So sorry for your loss,,,I sure remember our Dyess days some great memories
Sending my deepest sympathy to the entire Allen family. May God bless you all with peace and comfort through the days ahead.
We are so sorry for your loss. In Christ, Glen and Flora Naff.
Sending prayers and sympathy to the Allen family. I remember Mr. Allen as a very caring man. May God bless you with Love and Peace during this difficult time.
I love you Grand-Daddy.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Mr. Allen was a great Coach and Principal. He had a great deal of influence on me especially with his "Board of Education", but to me as well as others he was a very respected and revered man. My heart and prayers are with the family. All things and all healing are possible through Jesus Christ our Lord. Rest in God's arms Coach. You are missed.
This old world will not be the same anymore, with Mister Allen having gone to Heaven, but I have memories, fond ones, of him always being there for me, as I was a very troubled youth, and he had those big shoulders, anyway, rest in peace my friend. I'll need those shoulders again someday......
Bro. Robyn, so sorry for the loss of your father. Prayers to you and your family.
You all are in our thoughts and prayers.
Always and forever, my Daddy you'll be.
Nell and family, Jack and I were so sorry to hear of your loss of Bro. Jim. He always held such a special place in our hearts for his love and kindness. We considered your friendship during the years we served together at Highland Hills Baptist Church. The two of you were such an inspiration to us for your love of Christ that shined through your service to Him. There will be celebration in heaven for this sweet angel.
Jimmy was a good friend and classmate at Dyess High School 1949. He will be missed. God Bless his family.

I went to Highland Hill Baptist Church with Jim & Niel when they loved up here.
Mr. Allen was a special person in my formative years as he was for hundreds of others as my neighbor, first coach, principal, and friend. His kindness and guidance make so many thankful that we knew him. He leaves behind many lucky friends and family for having known him.
