I went to Jr. high and High school with Allen. He was one of those guys who you just knew would make it - very respectful, polite and did his homework. R.I.H. Allen.

My days at Woodward were always filled with laughter from Allen kept me getting in trouble from laughing at the things he would say that the teachers couldn't hear. My prayers go up for comfort to the entire family

To the family and friends of Allen Clay, Allen was a tremendously valued and important part of our JFS team during his time here. Allen was always willing to assist any and all in any way he could. He was widely known for his work and deeply respected in the community. While I know you all were proud of Allen perhaps you can take a bit of additional solace in knowing the profound impact he had on our agency and on those he served. On behalf of the department, to all the were lucky enough to have known him, please accept our deepest condolences. Sincerely, Tim McCartney Chief Operating Officer Hamilton County Job & Family Services

Allen was one in a million. We were classmates since Jr. High. Allen was always so poised and mature, but yet silly and fun to be around. He and I use to compare our penmanship trying to determine whose was best. I'd never admit a lefty could write better than :-) , but he did. It hurts knowing he's no longer with us, but it makes me smile knowing nothing is loss when you know where it is. And I know exactly where Allen is, he's right up there in heaven trying to show off that beautiful penmanship. To the family be strong and be blessed!

To the Clay Family, My deepest condolences are extended to you all during this time. It has been a privilege to know all of you through actions of Allen Jr. When I first met Allen, it was as another “Princeton Parent” as he and my son were on the track team together. Talking with Allen, listening to his views and his display of courage, humility, intelligence and perseverance made him a stand-out amongst the rest. I enjoyed speaking with him at the track meets, at Personal Trainers World and later on as a staff member speaking to students. The values that are instilled in him and his drive to achieve are the seeds you all have sewn in him; a beautiful reflection of his parents. He is a true role-model, leader and inspiration to others in and out of the classroom and I am very anxious to hear of his many successes in the future. May God keep you all in his loving arms at this time and may the prayers of many bring you comfort and strength. Psalms 34:18-The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. (New International Version). Mrs. Lanita O. Hill

A memory I have with Mr.Clay is when he was working with the o-line on our football team because he was so invested in the potential that he saw. Plus the greatest part about him was, no matter who you were whether he knew you or not. You planning for the future was important to the late great Mr.Allen Clay Sr.

To the family of Allen Clay: my sincerest condolences to you all. I worked with Allen at the Community Action Agency. Such a genuinely nice person. Just from the limited interaction I had with him, he left such an impression. Earth's loss is Heaven's gain. He will truly be missed.

I had the pleasure of working with Allen at Hamilton County JFS. Allen was the kindest and most caring person you could meet. He had a heart of gold, and would go out of his way to help anyone he came in contact with. Allen was so proud of his family, and his face would light up whenever he would talk about his wife and children. He could always make you laugh, and cheer you up when you had a bad day. Allen will be truly missed! Please know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

To the Clay Family, My deepest condolences and thoughts go out to you at this time. I've been privileged to know your family through being Allen Jr.'s English Teacher. A true testament of leadership and love is often shown through one's children. Children are often mirrors of the beauty and love within their parents. I consider myself lucky to have been brought into Allen Jr.'s life as his teacher as he is truly an inspirational, driven, creative, and unique young man. I look forward to the many successes that await him in the future. These successes will be a testament to you, to Allen Jr., and to Allen Sr. Thinking of you during this time and often.

Allen was greater than life itself, he gave without any expectations. We would joke and exchange pats of the back for the goals we would reach. I also seen the moments that would sadden him but he would perservere through lifes trials and trabulations. Al I love you and I am glad that I told you. I will meet you there so save me a place.
LISA SAWYER left a message on February 2, 2015:
To Allen's family, I never met any of you personally, but I knew you all from the many stories Allen would relate to me. I had the extreme pleasure of working with Allen at Hamilton County JFS. Our offices were close so I had the opportunity to get to know a little of him. I have never met someone so positive on his outlook of life. His caring nature and the way his face would light up and his grin would be so wide when he talked about his family. He was so devoted to his family. Know that he was loved and cared about wherever he went. I will miss him and our Monday morning talks about Princeton sports. Blessings to your family.
