Allen retired from General Motors in 2002 and was a member of the U.A.W. local #699. He was not a man of many words but he possessed a great sense of humor and a kind heart. Allen was a laid back kind of guy. He had a winning smile and a shy, humble demeanor when he was not playing sports. Allen was a hard worker but his life's message was not to stress yourself about anything. Allen was a natural and true athlete who excelled in sports. He enjoyed bowling, cross country skiing, running, baseball, basketball, racquetball, and golf. Allen was mostly known for his golf game and he amazed people with his golf shots.
