Allen Raymond Pike, 1918-2007

Allen R. Pike, compiler of the extensive genealogy "John Pike of Newbury, MA", passed away on Aug. 20.

He was a native of Caribou, ME, born July 14, 1918, a son of Eugene Hale Pike and Edna Estella Russell.

Allen retired in 1975 from two decades in Putnam County as a speech therapist and school dramatics director.

He served as organist of the Mr. Hope Methodist Church in Mahopac Falls, being an accomplished musician, former member of the Boston Festival Chorus, and holder of several degrees in music.

He was avidly involved in historical activities in the area. His presence and participation will be sorely missed.
