He served in the U. S. Armed Forces from 1942 through 1953 and was stationed in Japan and Korea.
He met and fell in love with Lucille AJlen. This courtship led to their union in marriage on February 22, 1966. Reverend Allen has one son residing in Mississippi, Sandy Allen, III (Betty); two stepdaughters, Vera Wise and Juanita Johnson (Willie); seven grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
Reverend Allen was called into ministry and preached his first sermon in February of 1973. His sermon was preached from John 8th Chapter, "Look At Yourself, Before You Point Your Finger At Me". Reverend Allen loved singing and was a member of the Male Choir. His favorite hymns were, "A Charge To Keep I Have," and "By The Grace Of The Lord, He Has Kept Me". He pastored several churches in southeast and until his death served as interim pastor at Macedonia Baptist Church in Pomono, Georgia.
Reverend Allen leaves to cherish his memory and treasure his legacy in addition to his wife, son, stepchildren, grandchildren and great grandchildren; his siblings, Mamie Lee Allen, Johnny Zell Allen (Lillie), Willie James Allen (Phyllis), Grace Allen, and Mary Francis Webb (Dozier); loving-inlaws, Golden Crowder (Marshall), Ellie C. McDaniel, George Thomas McDaniel (Willie Mae), Bobby McDaniel (Carolyn) and Virgil McDaniel (Barbara); and a host of other relatives and friends.
uThe Day God Called You Home "
God looked around His garden andfound an empty place. He then looked down upon His earth and saw your loving face.
He put His arms around you and lifted you to rest. His garden must be beautiful; He always takes to the best.
He knew you were suffering, He knew you were in pain. And knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw your path was difficult; He closed your tired eyes, He whispered to you, ''Peace Be Thine " and gave you wings to fly.
When we saw you sleeping so calm andfree ofpain, We would not wish y ou back to earth to suffer once again. You've left us precious memories, your love will be our guide, You live on through your children; you're always by our side.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For part ofus went with you The day God called y ou Home.
