I will miss you, Alan.
For the family and friends of Allen. Mr Colborn was a very unique man who didn’t need anything more than your friendship. We would always see him riding his scooter around the community where he lived with Jake in tow, he loved his dog. He was a good man and a good member of the community where he lived. He would always greet you with a heart warming smile. Mr. Colborn will be greatly missed by us here at Country Village.
