Bobby Allen was one of Jersey’s best — a hero who put others first as a firefighter and an advocate for his brothers and sisters of labor. Today, I honored his life and legacy with a speech on the floor of the House. Watch below 📺⬇️ @njfmba

@njfmba Bobby was an exemplary union member & an institution of knowledge & resolution. His work with the Legislative Committee helped to enact multiple bills. He always made sure Firefighters of NJ were represented in the Capitol, then he'd make sure all were aware of the pulse there.

With sadness we announce our brother, FF Robert Allen, passed away last night. The son of Retired B/C Edward Allen, Robert was appointed to Paterson FD 5/18/92. He was a 1st responder to NYC on 9/11/01. He was also Chairman of the Legislative Committee for the State @njfmba
