Gale Floyd Allen
MORGAN- Gale Floyd Allen, 90, passed away peacefully in his sleep Thursday, July 8, 2010. He was born March 12, 1920 in Morgan, Utah, to Herbert and Noreen Olsen Allen. He was the youngest of six children. He married Nell Barnett on October 8, 1941 in the Salt Lake LDS temple. They were the parents of five children. Nell preceded him in death on July 6, 2005. He married Nedra Tucker on March 25, 2006. Gale spent his childhood exploring the hills and streams of Morgan. He grew up to be an avid outdoorsman, hunting, fishing, and trapping until he was 90 years old. He served two years in the United States Army during World War II. Life was always an adventure for Gale. In addition to the outdoors, he had a variety of interests, including dancing, good dogs, mink ranching, storytelling, Arabian horses, horn collecting, rock hounding, nutrition, and match-making. He was a philosopher and dreamer extraordinaire. Gale loved his horses and spent every spring season in the barn delivering foals. He also loved young people. Many generations of neighborhood children fondly remember nights spent in the barn, listening to Gale’s stories while waiting for foals to be born. As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Gale served faithfully in many callings throughout his life. He especially enjoyed his time spent with the Boy Scouts. Gale is survived by his wife, Nedra Tucker Allen, and his five children: Sue (Marlin) Brooks, Kim (Jeanne) Allen, Nedra (Greg) Richins, Kent (Susan) Allen, and Bret (Pam) Allen; and dear friends Steve and Sharla Bell He is survived by his six stepchildren and many step-grandchildren who also loved Grandpa Gale. He has 27 grandchildren, 49 great-grandchildren, and 3 great-great-grandchildren. Also surviving are his in-laws: Lena (Keith) Allen, Eva (Owen) Barnett, Ross and Shirley Dearden. Gale was preceded in death by his parents, his wife, Nell, his siblings, and one granddaughter, Josell Allen. His family would like to thank the staff at Family Tree Assisted Living Center and Alpine Hospice for their loving care. Funeral services will be held on Monday, July 12th at 11:00 a.m. at the Milton Chapel. Friends and family may call Sunday from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Milton Church, and on Monday in Milton from 9:45 to 10:45 prior to services. Interment will be at Milton Cemetery.

Gale, of all the many people I have known in my lifetime, you are one of the very few who truly lived. In all the years I had the pleasure to know you, I never saw an ounce of negativity in your life or personality. You were always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need, and truly understood the nature of being a living example of the teachings of Jesus Christ. Well done my dear friend. May the rest of us strive to live each day as honorably as you lived your life. God be with you 'till we meet again.

Dear Allen Family, I just heard of Uncle Gale's passing today. He was always such a sweet and gracious man. My children will always remember him showing them his different animals he had trapped and mounted, the furs he had, and the exciting tales he told. I want you to know that I loved your dad and mom very much. I miss all of those folks that I grew up around. They were such powerful examples in my life. Our prayers are with you.
