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.

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."

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......

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.
