I was so sorry to read this. My condolences to the Allard family.
I met Joe in the summer of 1969 as we were both working at the Muskegon County Road Commission. He was just out of the Service—and he was ready to enjoy his life back in Muskegon, golf and baseball.
His stories of being in Vietnam were amazing to hear just as his stories of the beginnings of the Mona Shores football program. Add to that he had a nice 1966 Chevy convertible to ride around in that summer. Life was good.
Ran into him occasionally over the years and always got a warm greeting and handshake.
I have met few people in my life as memorable as Joe even though our paths only crossed for one summer.
Resident In Peace.

Since I met Joe when we were freshmen, whenever I think of him "family" is the first word that comes to mind. Joe and his brothers earned reputations on the field as cornerstones of the MSHS sports tradition. Ray and Lila supported their young men, raising them to be tough competitors in multiple sports and always good sportsmen. In recent years I recall Joe and Linda finishing first in a Class of 1966 Reunion golf tournament, during which I noted a bench they endowed on the 14th hole at Oakridge honoring Ray and Lila. Joe was a combat Marine; there's no higher honor. Semper Fi!

I remember so many great times with Joe. He was always fun to talk with

and be around. Our group enjoyed golfing at White Lake, Oakridge and

the many vacations up north. Joe will be greatly missed. May happy

memories carry you through this sorrowful time.
