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. He most enjoyed spending time with his wife of 63 years going out to eat and traveling where a favorite spot was Gatlinburg. His grandchildren will forever be grateful for the summers spent at his home. Larry truly believed Mickey Mouse ruled the world.
