John R. Allen, Ret.Dpd & Ret. Alvarado Pd
John was one of the DPD Good Guys. We became good friends,and had much in common together. We were Masonic Worthy Brothers, DPD Brothers in Blue, and Brother Methodist’s. I was working Police Personnel when John was wanting to retire from the DPD. I put John in contact with the Corporate Director of Security for Diamond Shamrock. I knew that there was a position in the company’s Corporate Security department available and I felt it was a job that would fit John to a T. John was interviewed and hired as a Security Consultant. He worked another ten years with Diamond Shamrock providing security for Diamond Shamrocks CEO,and working hand in hand with the Chief Security Director. As retiree’s we often attended the Third Thursday DPD Retiree’s Luncheon together. I will miss our visits and phone calls old friend. My thought’s and prayers go out to his family,and many friends. I can only imagine,but I feel that John & Nema are having a Glorious Homecoming and now Dancing together in Heaven without any pain and suffering. May Godspeed, and RIP Old Friend on your final signal 66. John R. Allen,Retired DPD & Retired Alvarado PD.
