Obituary for Allen Roese

Condolence From: BEVERLY PUCKETT, Bella Vista, AR
Condolence: I remember Allen as a great friend. We were in Thespians together, including the one show we were both in, Hello Dolly! He and another Thespian friend of ours even double dated with me and my date for a Westerville High School spring prom! So sorry to hear of his passing.

Condolence From: Heidi Turner, Columbus, Ohio
Condolence: I can't find the words to express my shock to find out a lifelong friend is gone. He may not be here on this earth, but I shall see him again for Allen and I talked many times and he has professed Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. I grieve, not as one who has no hope, but knowing I will meet him again..until then, goodbye for now. Loving you, Heidi

Condolence: My deepest sympathy to all of Allen's loved ones. My memories of Allen are sweet - all from high school...so much fun with him in Thespians, especially Hello Dolly! Allen was always kind to everyone; what a warm heart, and it showed in his smile. I can only imagine how much he will be missed by those blessed to be close to him in his adult years. Prayers for God's comfort. Cindy Baker

Condolence: I was in numerous theatrical productions with Allen at Westerville High School and remember his loving, comedic personality and generous heart. He always gave his all to every part and performance and though we did not stay in touch after high school, it certainly sounds like he continued to give of himself, his gifts and his heart throughout his life. I am so sorry to hear of his passing and hope that many sweet memories will comfort you in the days ahead.
