Research Note: He was the son of Oliver and Madge (Dinkins) Keeling. On November 26, 1960 he was united in marriage to Leona Hutton. Preceding him in death were his parents; one brother, John and a grandson Hunter. Allen grew up and attended school in Purdy where he graduated from high school. All his life was spent in Barry County. At a young age he starting milking, farming and working dairy cattle, which he continued throughout his life. For several years he was a member of the Purdy School Board. He was a member of Longview Methodist Protestant Church in Purdy. Legacy, patriarch, giving, selfless, pillar of the community, never turned anyone in need away and he never met a stranger are just a few things we can say about this man. The laughter, the scolding's and leadership will be missed forever. Because of one godly marriage (59 years) and two great parents, he had a bigger impact on hundreds of lives than anyone you will ever meet. We just pray we can continue to uphold the name that he left us. Fohn Funeral Home
