Robert Edgar Allen

Robert’s career life covered many different facets: the logging industry as choker setter, installed lat/plaster and drywall, painter until he became co-owner of B&W Sales which was primarily a motorcycle dealership. He was a member of Redwood Scramblers Motorcycle Club, which later turned into the Rattlesnake Enduro, which became a national event. He loved racing and riding motorcycles, teaching his sons about motorcycles. Robert’s short lesson for his sons: “when in doubt, gas it.” His hobbies included the History Channel, boxing, family trips  camping, and he was passionate for practicing art work in the form of drawings and later acrylic paintings.  In 1967 after being lead to Christ, he and his family attended for many years at the  Smith River Baptist Church.
