Larry Allen was a hell of an offensive lineman. I watched that dude bench 225lbs 43 times during Pro Bowl week. RIP big man.

He enjoyed all sports and playing hockey on the frozen lakes in Canada, which led him to a career as a professional hockey player. Steve was on the Hershey Bears’ 1974 Calder Cup team and also served as captain of the Hershey Bears. He was also a retiree from the Hershey Company.
