Joseph Allen

Joseph Leonard Allen 

October 11, 1958-July 17, 2024

Joseph Allen, a dedicated CNC Operator for computers, has peacefully passed away on July 17, 2024 in South Bend, Indiana, surrounded by his loving family. Born on October 11, 1958, in Rensselaer, Indiana, Joseph leaves behind a legacy of hard work love, and cherished memories.

Throughout his life, Joseph found joy in the simple pleasures - from riding motorcycles to the tunes of rock and roll music to indulging in his favorite BBQ. His time at Sullivan Palatek was not just a job but a passion that fueled his dedication as a CNC Operator.

However, beyond his career accomplishments, Joseph's true treasures were his beloved family and faithful companions. He adored his German Shepherd named "Millie" and grand pup "Effie", but above all else, he treasured the moments spent with the love of his life, Connie Allen, stepchildren Bill Osterhout and Rebecca "Speck" Osterhout, and grandson Hayden Osterhout.

Joseph's presence will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. His kindness, humor, and unwavering love will forever be remembered by those whose lives he touched. As we mourn the loss of Joseph Allen from our earthly realm, we take solace in knowing that his spirit lives on through the memories we shared with him.
