Randall Norris wrote a sympathy message

“Allen was one of the BGSU writers who was my friend and mentor. He was always generous with his time and his commentary on my work. He had invited me to fish with him at Lake Weis but unfortunately we never got to fish together. Have a good journey old friend.”

Samuel Snoek-Brown wrote a sympathy message

“I only knew Allen for a couple of weeks at the Sewanee Writers' Conference in 2015, where he was my mentor, but he had a profound impact on my fiction and I will carry his advice—and his memory—with me for the rest of my life. I feel like the most fitting epitaph would be of the (many) quotes from him that I wrote in my notebook: "Smitten by make-believe, I never quite returned to real life." May he live forever in the make-believe.”

Michael Keith wrote a sympathy message

“I'm so sad to hear of Allen's passing. A shock. I'd struck up a friendship with him over the last few years via email. He was very flattering and supportive of my writing (blurbed my forthcoming book) and I was a great admirer of his wonderful tomes. We were both hoping to meet in the flesh in the not-too-distant future, and I'm so disheartened that will not happen. We shared much in common, including the fact our wives contributed their superb art for our book covers. Michael Keith”
