Rodger Lee Allen
September 9, 1953 - November 8, 2020
“Hey Dad, where are you going?”
“Crazy… Why? Do you want to come?”
EAST WATERBORO- Rodger has moved on to greener pastures for an eternal visit with family and great friends who have all left us too soon. We are positive that they are causing some sort of trouble, together again. It would be an impossible feat to list all who knew and loved him. He leaves behind his loving wife Annette (Grondin) Allen of 46 years. He was the cherished father of three children: Loree and her husband Nick Pierce of Portland; Brock Allen and his wife Venessa of Limerick; and Audrey and her husband Gunner Smith of Standish. He was the adored Poppy to a half dozen grandchildren: Lorilye, Sydney, Keegan, Kaylee, Damien, and Rory, and one great granddaughter, Braylen. Rodger was the fifth son of the late Chester A. and Eleanor M. (Smith) Allen, and was the brother of Richard Allen of Florida, Randall, Ronald, and Barbara Allen of Plymouth, Mass., Beverly (Allen) Thibault of RI, and the late “Brother Bob who won the race to the pasture.” Accompanied by a lengthy list of nieces and nephews, droves of cousins, and copious amounts of lifelong friends.
Rodger grew up in Westwood, Mass. and summered in Plymouth. He graduated from Blue Hills Regional Technical School in 1972, and worked as a machinist, truck driver, and in golf car repair. Rodger and Annette began their family in Plymouth, Mass. and eventually made Maine home in 1994. Rodger opened ABL Golf Cars in 2000, which he owned and operated until his retirement in 2017. He was a founding father of the PCPH Hunting Club, several-time president of the DGBM Association, and twice held residency at the highly sought after members-only LVB community. He will be greatly missed by all. So in his memory have one-and-a-half sandwiches for dinner and dole out a funny finger chicken noogie to someone you love.
