It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Paul Allen, who left us on Sunday, July 26, 2026 at Avina on 32^nd.  He was born on January 12, 1957, in South Milwaukee, WI to the late Caddith and Eleanor (Krawczyk) Allen.  He was a graduate of South Milwaukee High School.

Paul was a dedicated employee of Fireside Restaurant, where he worked as a pizza maker for over 40 years.

He enjoyed fishing, listening to music, attending concerts, and spending time with animals. Above all, Paul cherished his family, who meant everything to him. He was the kind of person who always offered a listening ear, a comforting shoulder to lean on, and a reason to smile. Paul loved deeply and unconditionally, and his kindness, laughter, and compassion will be remembered by all who knew and loved him.

Paul is survived by his daughter, Melinda (Brian) Clinton; niece, Nicole; nephew, Justin; friend Jim, many great nieces and nephews and his cat, Zarya.

In addition to his parents, Paul was preceded in death by his brother Dennis Allen and dear friends, Gloria and Jay.

Memorial services honoring Paul’s life will be held privately.

A heartfelt note of appreciation from our family to Hospice Alliance at Avina for all their compassionate care and support given in Paul’s time of need.
