. . . a fond farewell . . .

. . . in sharp contrast to
of a new life together . . .
. . . today's celebration
was honoring
the end of the earthly life
of jerry allred . . .
. . . a wonderful man
whether you knew him
on his own . . .




. . . as one-half
of a darling husband/wife team . . .



. . . or as one-third
of the allred brothers . . .
{iconic figures in southeast mesa ~
you could find them ~ stetson clad ~
most any morning sitting in the bashas' deli
[back in the good ol' days]
enjoying a "breakfast" of soda and cookies
or driving down southern three across
in a single cab chevy pickup}
. . . i bet there's
a great reunion going on! . . .


. . . long-time friend
of my parents . . .
. . . ward member . . .
. . . quarter horse expert . . .
. . . husband/father/grandfather . . .
. . . he was one of the nicest men
i've ever met . . .
. . . he'll be missed . . .
