ALLEN, Robert Bruce, Jr. 63, of New Castle, New Hampshire; Rockport, Maine; Treasure Cay, Bahamas and wherever else the wind would take him, died February 22, 2010 of sudden cardiac arrest. He is survived by his wife and best friend, Carol Allen, his three children Leslie Klipstein, Jeff Allen and Lincoln Allen; his grandchildren Isaac Klipstein and Jonas Klipstein; his mother Ruth Allen; and his six siblings Charlie Allen, George Allen, Jon Allen, Beth Roy, Richard Allen and Barbara Allen and their families.
He was predeceased by his father, Robert Bruce Allen , Sr.
Recently retired from the R.B. Allen Company in North Hampton, NH, Bruce left this world at the top of his game - playing golf, sailing the Wind Rose and initiating construction of the perfect little cottage in Treasure Cay. His adventurous spirit and ready smile will be remembered by all who knew him, as will his guitar playing which provided the soundtrack to his days. A public gathering to celebrate Bruce's life and share memories will be held on Sunday, March 14, 2010 at the Wentworth Hotel in New Castle, NH from 1:00-5:00 pm. Refreshments will be served and at 2:30 PM there will be a short presentation. It was Bruce's vision that members of the fire services be able to participate in the process of creating national life safety codes and regulations.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that any donations in his memory be made to the NH Charitable Foundation, Fund #4052-1, NFPA Participation Fund. This fund was established to allow public safety officials the resources to attend and contribute to the code writing process. Any donations may be mailed to the R.B. Allen Co., Inc. 131 Lafayette Rd North Hampton, NH 03862 or mailed directly to the NH Charitable Foundation 37 Pleasant St., Concord, MA 03301. |

Shawmut Design and Construction's founder Jim Ansara is on the ground in Haiti helping with the humanitarian relief effort. Jim and his wife Karen have been working over the last few months on building a hospital in Haiti; the earthquake last week has prompted Jim and Karen to take additional immediate and urgent action. Before Jim hopped on a relief effort plane to Haiti, he and Karen helped start The Haiti Fund at The Boston Foundation. They have pledged to match dollar for dollar the first one million dollars in gifts to this fund. If you are planning on making a donation towards the Haitian relief effort (either individually or as a corporation), we urge you to consider giving to The Haiti Fund at The Boston Foundation. You can donate online through the below link:

There are a lot of groups doing important work in Haiti, but two important things stand out about The Haiti Fund. First, it’s focused on long-term reconstruction over the next five years, seeing Haiti beyond the critical initial humanitarian needs. Second, it has a special provision for supporting the Haitian community in Boston as they struggle to connect with family and friends affected by the earthquake. Jim and Karen have made a large personal commitment to match all donations up to $1 million to The Haiti Fund at The Boston Foundation, challenging the broader Boston community to be generous. We hope you’ll join them in supporting The Haiti Fund at The Boston Foundation. |
