CBS 11 news anchor Doug Dunbar wrote the following tribute on his Facebook page to Allen Manning:
Waking up to the shock that one of the kindest, most genuine people I’ve ever known, is gone.
I simply can’t imagine.
I had the joy of working with Allen Manning since the day I walked into CBS 11.
In over a decade together, never a cross word. Forever positive.
Never “why can’t we,” always
“How do we make it work.”
Especially when Teena was battling cancer. Such courage and support this man brought to her fight.
He would walk a mile through fire for her.
But what set him apart, was that he’d walk that same mile for you, too.
Just when the world truly needs more Allen Manning’s.
Rest peacefully brother.
I will struggle to understand the why.
I will remember only the good.
I’m grateful there was so very much of it.
