Joe attended school in his early years in Iberville Parish then attended high school at Southwood in Shreveport and his final year at Montgomery High School where he graduated in 1974. He briefly attended N.S.U. where he jokingly said he majored in bowling. He decided to pursue a career as an industrial electrician after working a brief stent at the Grey Hound Bus Station in Baton Rouge. He went on to become a licensed certified industrial electrician where he worked from coast to coast and even a short period in telecommunications for Marconi Inc. Joe finished his electrical career at I.P. Paper mill in Mansfield, La working for several contractors finishing up with Zachry, where Joe found both a work family and life time friends. When asked what he did at the "MILL" He would say I am an illumination technician, which meant I change a lot of light bulbs. Joe was an avid reader and loved to collect and shoot handguns until a brain fungal mass took his vision. What cancer could never take from Joe Allen was it never took his cognition, his mentation, his love and faith in God, and his love of his family and friends. At the end of Joe's life his grandchildren were his biggest joy. Our family has been blessed because we were all loved by Joe Joe.
