A lifelong Methodist, Allen loved and served others with a Wesleyan spirit. Allen enjoyed attending concerts and blues festivals with his wife and friends, reading biographies, attending University of Central Arkansas sporting events, and quizzing his children about Beatles trivia. He proudly celebrated the accomplishments of his children. Nothing made him happier than enjoying life with his wife. In recent years, Allen has gladly become his grandson Logan's official sports photographer.
