Obituaries for September 21, 2018

Mr. Harold G. "Slim" Allen went home to be with His Lord & Savior September 19, 2018 at his residence. Slim was well known throughout the community as a dedicated family man and a very hard worker. Slim enjoyed being a jokester, riding horses, entertaining children of all ages and the great adventures with Pedro, The World Most Personal Mule. Pedro brought people from all around as Slim taught him to drink Mountain Dew from a bottle, turn on the water fountain and drink the water, eat bubble gum, and to sit in his own chair. Slim and Pedro were invited to appear on the David Letterman show. Slim ran the full-service gas station in RoEllen for many years. He would give his last penny to someone in need without fail. Many in the community knew if they had a wart, go see Slim because the wart disappeared soon after their visit with him. Slim worked his entire life and could share stories that were real and memorable!
