ALLEN, Larry Wilson

Larry Wilson Allen, 82, of Springfield, passed peacefully at his home with his wife beside him. He was born in Springfield, Ohio, on October 20th, 1938, the son of Charles and Jean (Rose) Allen.

Larry had a passion for officiating high school football for 50 years. He enjoyed golfing and working in his garage on various crafts and projects.
