Oliver (Ollie) ALLEN

Dear all,

I would like to say thank you for all your heartfelt messages, especially those who knew my father personally. We will cherish these forever.

I only recently learned the sad news that Oliver had passed away. Oliver was a lovely person, hugely popular and a real gentleman. He was most helpful to me when I was researching old cinemas and kindly supplied me with photographs of cinema staff to use in my Dublin and Irish Cinemas books. My sincere condolences to Mary and all the Allen family.

Roseanna, and all of your family. I was so sorry to hear of the sad passing of your lovely dad. I hope the treasured memories you have of him will help you through these, the toughest days. Thinking of you all during this most difficult time. Nicole

So sad to hear of the death of Uncle Oliver a kind, gentle soft spoken Uncle who had a smile for all. I have many happy memories of times with him that will never fade. My deepest sympathies and love to all the family

To the Allen Family. So sad to hear of Ollie's passing, he was a true gentleman and a lovely neighbor who always had time for a chat. May he rest in peace x

So sad to hear of Oliver passing away, a lovely man and a wonderful neighbour. Will miss chatting with him on the way down for the bus. Rip

To Ollie and the Allen family sorry to hear of the sad passing of your dad Oliver. You are all in our thoughts and prayers at this sad time.

Oliver got Pullman seats for me and my grandfather Thomas Allen, at the Astor for "With a Song in My Heart". Every time we were in Dublin or he was in London there would be free entrance to picture houses. Oliver was kind, and one of a kind, he brought us food from Sandymount to Walkinstown in the late 50's when times were hard.
In England in the 60's he carried our first television from the shop to our house, about a mile!
He had such cool sideburns in the 1970's.
I'm sure St Peter will be saying "Don't worry Ollie, we've sorted out a Pullman Seat,
"We're playing 'Song in my Heart'"

padraig and famiy sorry for your loss

My Dear Uncle Oliver,
I have memories from my childhood of you, a gentleman in every sense of the word, Thankyou for Your love and kindness to my Mum your sister Mary and our family.

Many heartfelt condolences to all of your family, God Bless, Christine X

Padraig and Family. Sorry to hear ur very sad news . My condolences to u all .

I was truly saddened upon hearing about the death of my Uncle Oliver. I’ll always cherish the adventures I had with him when I was growing up. Trips to the Astor when we would visit Dublin and then after, him stopping buses mid-route to send us on our way home. I was always in awe of his power over Dublin’s bus service. Even though it has been a few years since the last time I saw him, I can still hear his warm and joyous laugh. I will miss him greatly. Sending all my love to Mary, Pádraig, Ollie and Roseanna.

So sad to hear news on the passing of Ollie. We knew him through our father ( Larry Murtagh of Dalys Bar ) and many a fun time we all had together. Great memories. He was such a gentleman.Thinking of you all during these very hard times.

Keeping you all in my prayers.

One of life's gentlemen , I was a friend of Oliver in the 70 's , I used to make deliveries to Astor ,Always had a smile and a laugh with him , R I P Oliver ,

I am saddened to hear of the Oliver's death and extend my sympathy to you Mary and to all the family. Oliver was a true gentleman, full of goodness and honesty. A valued and faithful parishioner in Cherry Orchard whom we held in the highest regard. May the light of heaven shine on him forever.

Ollie, Deirdre, Roseanna and all the Allen family. My deepest condolences on your sad loss. You are all in my thoughts at this difficult and sad time.

To Mary Oliver and family
Such sad news on the passing of Ollie. I was so privileged to have worked with Ollie in the Astor Cinema. He was also a great friend of my late dad Larry Murtagh formally of Daly's pub on Eden Quay. I can still see him smiling and hearing him whistle as he went around the front hall making sure everyone was happy.
I have no doubt there will be a huge welcome for him when he meets up with all his old friends from the Astor. Safe journey Ollie.
Keeping you all in my prayers.

Mary and the Allen Family - so sorry to hear of your husband's passing. Keeping you all in my prayers at this sad time. May Oliver rest in peace.

On my own behalf as well as on behalf of all in St John Ambulance, I wish to extend my sincerest condolences to the Allen family on the passing of Ollie Snr. While I did not personally know Ollie Snr, if, in any way, his children's dedication to St. John reflects their late father's dedication, determination and sense of duty, allied with a great empathy for their fellow human beings at time of illness or suffering, then Ollie Snr. should be proud of this part of his legacy. RIP.

To Roseanna & Family,

Deepest sympathy to you all on the the passing of Ollie. may he rest in peace.

Thínking of you at this sad time & keeping you all in our prayers.
