Robert “Bobby” Allen Jr., 73, of Sesser, passed away on Friday February 18, 2022.
He was born on January 29, 1949 in DuQuoin, IL to Robert and Billie (Bowlin) Allen Sr.
He is survived by his mother Billie Allen of DuQuoin; daughter Kacie (Mike) Gaffney of Ballwin, MO; grandsons Graham Gaffney and George Gaffney and one sister Kandace (David) Porter, of DuQuoin.
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.
