Honoring Bruce Allen

Today we have very sad news to share. Our hearts are heavy at the loss of Bruce Allen, who passed away Wednesday, July 23. As many of you know, he was the owner and operator of A&T Chevrolet-Subaru. A family business, this loss hits especially hard as we mourn him as husband, father, grandfather, mentor, colleague and friend.

Bruce Allen's life and legacy will be honored at Bernard Suess Funeral Home (606 Arch Street, Perkasie, PA 18944) with a calling time Tuesday, July 29, 2014 from 6-8pm and Wednesday, July 30, 2014 from 9-11am. A service will follow the close of the Wednesday morning calling time.

A&T Chevrolet and A&T Subaru will be closed until 1:00pm on Wednesday, July 30.

An online condolence book is available to sign here.

Cancer took him from his family and from us far too soon. Rather than send flowers, the Allen family asks that memorial donations be made to the American Cancer Society, 480 Norristown Road, #150, Blue Bell, PA 19422.
