Per his sister Ethel: "I called him Willie. He died so young- 28 - of asthma - suffered so terribly. Could hardly walk up the slight sidewalk hill to our house. I used to come home on the same trolley from the city of Seattle to West Seattle and he'd walk up backwards to help him breathe. He'd get blue in the face from coughing. Those days - the 20's - there were no meds for asthma. He worked at Heiden's Mailing Bureau - the only job he ever had. Willie and I used to sit on our back porch - I was about 12 or so - and he'd point to the stars and name them." Ethel Rosina Tasker Allen 4/93
Per his death certificate, Willie died of plural-pneumonia, with the onset date of 10/1/1934. He was a "mailing clerk" at Heidens Mailing Bureau, and died at 28 yrs., 7 months and 19 days (unmarried). The "contributing cause" to his death is listed as possible endocarditis (with a question mark).
Willie died 9 months after his father. The were both cremated and their ashes are stored together at the crematorium on Queen Anne Hill, Seattle.
Connie was quite close to her older brother. She said he was so smart and loved astronomy. Towards the last two years of her life Connie said she dreamt about Willie often, and she really missed him. I like to think that they are where ever they are, laughing and looking at the stars up close. (Note from Kathy: According to Connie, Will also loved reading science fiction and always said that men would walk on the moon one day)
