    My parents thought the world of JT and Mr. Shelton. Mr. Allen was a great teaser as was my dad, and i always remember J.T. and smiling and making jokes. It is sad to think that the main street of yesterday is gone. JT Allen , Mr. Shelton and Western Auto were such a part of that.

    Kenny, I read about your father last night in the Sun. I am so sorry for your loss. It is hard to realize we are at the age that we are losing our parents. But, it is here. His picture in the paper looked just like I remember him. He and your Mom were always so nice to me. I will always remember their kindness. Take Care, Brenda

    A big void has been left with the passing of JT. I have so many wonderful memories of him from my childhood. Having grown up across the street from the store, there were many times he would air of my bycycle tires for me when I was a very young child. Now 40+ years later I still recall them with great fondess. He will be very much missed.

    I am so saddened to learn of your fathers passing. I don't beleive I ever saw J.T. when he wasn't smiling and in a good mood (except maybe for a few times Dale). Those people who have been around Trumann for any length of time, knew and loved J.T. He was an Icon of the downtown area for years, and will truly be missed. Please accept the condolences of my family in the passing of a great friend and role model.

    What a wonderful man...I bought my first bike from Mr. Allen and Mr. Shelton at Western Auto, paid it out weekly with my shoe shine money and still have it hanging in my shop here in Conway. Mr. Allen ALWAYS had a smile and good words to all who knew him. My condolences to all the family. He will truly be missed...

  26. Kenny White, Memphis, TN says

    My sympathies go out to the Allen family at this time. I grew up in Trumann and bought my first bike from Mr. Allen at Western Auto. He was a kind and thoughtful man who will be greatly missed by many! Our prayers are with you all.
