Robert “Bobby” Allen Jr. – Sesser, IL

He was preceded in death by his father and one brother Dale Allen.

He loved car racing, his daughter, his grandsons and Fox News. He was a truck driver and you could tell him what mile marker you were at in the United States and he could tell you the next truck stop or a landmark that was coming up, so much so his daughter nicknamed him Rand McNally.
