Allen was born February 8, 1941 in Nicollet to Clarence and Ruby (Esping) Prosch. He graduated from Nicollet High School in 1959 and later in life graduated from Mankato State University with a degree in Marketing and Management. After high school, Allen served in the U.S. Army from 1960-1966. He later married Betty Korpela on April 11, 1965 in Cokato at the Finnish Apostolic Lutheran Church. He started work in Glencoe, but later moved to the cities where he worked for Grumman Steel for a number of years. After his time with Grumman Steel he sold time share properties for the newly established Breezy Point Resort near Brainerd. He most recently worked in insurance sales for the Independent Order of Foresters where he also spent the past 28 years volunteering his services. Allen will forever be remembered for his love of the outdoors. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, motorcycling, and riding ATVs with friends and family. He was also known as quite the handyman. There weren’t too many things in life he could not fix. His favorite thing in life though was any time he got to spend with his family. He was a member of the Brainerd American Legion, a High Court Counselor for the Independent Order of Foresters, and a past member of the Covenant Church in Crystal and Brainerd.
