Robert Rapha Allen, 79, was born on November 1, 1924, in Seattle, WA, to Robert 
James Allen and Estelle "Leota" Allen. Robert Allen died on Thursday, October 
28, 2004, (almost achieving his 80th birthday), at his home, surrounded by his 
loving family, after a long, private battle with cancer. He is survived by

Robert Walter Allen, Michael Burnett Allen and his wife Maria Grace Prieto; 
grandchildren, Heather, John, Claire, Jeremy, Jenna; special family members, 
Alice Wilson and Todd Stilwell; and numerous cousins and an aunt. Mr. Allen 
attended high school in Hawthorne, NV, where he started the first cheerleading 
team for the school. After graduating in 1944, he immediately entered the Army 
Air Corps, serving as Flight Maintenance Gunner. He then attended the 
University of Nevada, Reno, where he met his future wife, Carol Ann Minkel (of 
San Francisco). After graduating with a degree in business and finance, 
marrying July 12, 1952, he and his new bride traveled to New York for 
additional training for his life long career as a stockbroker and financial 
consultant. They settled in Stockton to raise their family. Robert Allen 
originally worked for Harris-Upham & Co., and next Smith-Barney, Harris-Upham & 
Co., and eventually with A.G. Edwards, from which he retired at the age of 77 
years. In addition to his energies spent for family and career, Mr. Allen 
contributed actively and generously to numerous community organizations 
throughout his life in Stockton, including Port of Stockton, Junior Chamber of 
Commerce, Delta Blood Bank, Stockton Metropolitan Chapter of Kiwanis 
International and Key Club. He was active in the latter two up until his death. 
He was also a lifelong member of Theta Chi Fraternity. Mr. Allen has been loved 
for his generous character, integrity, leadership, and love of his family, "his 
(Key Club) Kids", friends and community. He was considered to be "a true gentle-
 man" by many, and will be truly missed. Family and friends are invited to 
attend a Memorial Service at the DeYoung Shoreline Chapel, 7676 Shoreline Dr.,
