In Memory of Roy Allen
On Tuesday, February 21st my father-in-law, Roy Allen lost his battle with
Cancer. Roy was a Master Carpenter who loved to share his talents to help
others. In 1991, I asked him if there was a way to convert the old red barn at
Rocky Fork Lake into a facility with bathrooms, showers and kitchenette for
KAMP. He took one look and said “anything is possible” and he made my wish come
true. A few years later, he was the contractor who poured the foundation for the
Dovetail Pavilion. Roy loved to help out with KAMP Dovetail in any way he could.
He would never take any pay for the supplies or his labor. He always told me it
was a labor of love.
Memorial
contributions can be made to S.A.T.H. You may make a memorial contribution

Thank you for the love and support you have given my family and me during
this difficult time.
I love you all, Linda |
