Keith Allen passed away
« on: September 19, 2016, 08:04:58 PM »
Keith Allen was at Hoag Hospital and was suffering with several ailments that can all be considered complications of advanced Alzheimer's when he passed away on Friday night.

Keith was a member of the Super Fours for many years and served as an SCTA board member and volunteer at Bonneville events under several administrations.

RIP and Godspeed Keith Allen.

Asking questions is one's only way of getting answers.

The rational person lets verified facts form or modify his opinion.  The ideologue ignores verified facts which don't fit his preconceived opinions.

Oh, wow.  Rest in peace, Kieth.  Nancy and I visited with him in registration scads of times.  I don't know what it was, but he always managed to find a smile or three for us.  Even when we were still really new.

Thanks for the memories.

Very sad to hear.   :cry: I liked Keith.  He was a crack up.  Was sad to see his health decline so quickly.  Sorry to see him go.

Sorry to hear of this. Keith and I were roommates for many years at Bonneville. As he declined from Alzheimer's it was tough to be there as I knew him so well and remembered the great times we had especially when he was racing with Bruce Johnston. That pair is back together waiting for many of us show up.... I'll bet there already planning how to drive us all crazy. J D....
