Jack Lee Allen, 75, of Robinson, died Saturday evening, January 21, 2017 at the Hiawatha Community Hospital.

Jack was born at Robinson, April 2, 1941, one of three children born to Asa and Ruth Haney Allen and moved with his family at a young age to Bellevue, Nebraska. He grew up there where he attended school and graduated high school. Jack spent his working life in Bellevue: worked for the Bellevue Chamber of Commerce a number of years, and later served as director to the SAC Museum, at that time located at Offutt AFB, before retiring and returning to Robinson. He spent many hours working and volunteering at the Robinson Community Store.

Jack was a member of the Air Force Association. To say Jack was a Nebraska Husker fan was an understatement! He held season tickets to their games for many, many years.

Survivors include two brothers: Jerry Allen of Bellevue, Jim Allen of Waterloo, NE; nieces: Julie Grace and Michelle Allen; a nephew Jeff Allen; and good friends and caregiver to Jack, the Brian Stroud family.

Jack was preceded in death by his parents; and a sister Mary Jeanne Allen

It was Jack’s wish to be cremated with no formal service being planned.

Memorial contributions are suggested to the Robinson Community Store, sent in care of Chapel Oaks Funeral Home, 124 S 7th St., Hiawatha 66434
