David J. Allen, a longtime Riverdale resident, passed away on Feb. 19th, 2023. He
lived on S. Kensington Rd. for over 40 years.
Dave enjoyed volleyball, bowling, and coaching Special Olympics year round in 8
different sports. He also enjoyed cooking, hiking, and traveling the country. He loved
learning the history of the areas he visited, especially Civil War battlefields. He also
loved playing euchre and was a stickler for the rules.
Dave was patient, observant, and had a dry sense of humor which made him a
wonderful father, grandfather, coach and friend. He is missed greatly. His wife Connie
continues to live in Riverdale.
