Allynn was an amazing friend in high school and beyond - I had heard of his passing from my sister and was saddened. I hope he is resting in peace... Judi KellerJean Fraser (McCorkle)
Allyn was such a great guy. He and I were the boys and girls tetherball champions at Little Lake Elementary. I remember in maybe 5th or 6th grade there was a party at Lynda Dyes and he was holding a firecracker and lit it. He contiuned to hold it in his fist even as it went off. I think he may have even cried-although he didn't want to!He was such a great looking guy throughout elementary and into high school.
I think it was the reuinion of 1995 a bunch of us went out for drinks afterwards and he was chief of Soboba Reservation at the time and perhaps running a casino. What a fun guy he was.
As Judi said, I hope he is in a peaceful place.

When I moved to Hemet in 6th grade I was in the same class as Allynn and Jean Fraser. They became my first new friends. Mrs. Woods was our 6th grade teacher at Little Lake and I remember her reading to us the adventures of Dr. Doolittle. I always appreciated Allyn's looking after me....he was the first boy to teach me to dance the "stroll" that was at a party at Yvonne Nevins. I always thought Allyn was so handsome and seemed so worldly wise. I have very fond memories of him. At the 1995 reunion after party, Carol Davidson Shackelford and I had fun reminiscing with him about their tennis playing days for Hemet High.He mentioned Steven Siegal was going to perform at Soboba Casino and I asked him if he could get me some tickets. I didn't think he would remember but sure enough he came through..Amazing!!
Blessings, blessings, blessings to you Allynn

In my junior year I moved to Yucaipa and played football there. Allynn had moved to San Jacinto and was playing ball also. On the opening kickoff, Yucaipa vs. San Jack I received the ball and was tackled by one of his teamates and tore up my knee. Allynn was one of the first people to me and helped me limp over to my side lines. I thanked him and he ran across the field to his side lines. That was the last time I every saw him.Dave Nicolet

Every five years Allynn and I would take a few minutes at the reunion and always remember our tennis days, softball days, and always have a dance together if there was music playing. He was such a unique individual, and had such a big heart. The last time I saw him was about a year before he died. My husband and I were in Hemet for a few days and we had a wonderful day playing golf with Allynn at Soboba.
