Ronald Allen (89) were the sons in the painting and decorating firm of F.A.. Allen and Sons, founded by their father, Mr Frank Attwood


Allen, in the 1920s. Norman loved sports


and in his younger days was a keen and talented footballer and billiards player. He developed a love of choral singing with the Wesleyan Male Voice Choir, which formed the foundation for many lifelong friend­ ships.


He also dedicated him­ ■


self to community ser­ vice in the Rotary-Club of Clitheroe and' the Masons until his retire­ ment in 1981. He and his wife, Edith,


then enjoyed their free time travelling and walk­ ing around Lancashire


and enjoying the compa­ ny of their family. Ronald also enjoyed


sport and played football alongside Norman in the Wesleyan Methodist team. He had a deep interest in local history, and enjoyed reading about the development of the communities in and around Clitheroe. Ronald retired from th e family business a t the same time as Nor­ man. With


Betty, he enjoyed his retiremen t


ing around Lancashire . and the Yorkshire Dales,
