Allen was born on January 2, 1932 in Boston, Massachusetts to Henry and Lee Ping Soo. He spent two years in the military where he was stationed in England. He received his degree from Little Rock University with a major in Biology and minor in Chemistry. Allen spent most of his career as a Microbiologist with the Arkansas Department of Health. He married Evelyn Hee of Kekaha, Hawaii on June 18, 1960. They have a son, Jeffrey of Houston, Texas.
Allen was passionate about dogs and was known by his neighbors for daily walks with his adorable Yorkie, Dusty. They were often seen in their matching yellow raincoats
.
He loved to play cards with his ''Wild Turkey'' buddies. Allen enjoyed the trips to Vegas to meet friends and former classmates. Traveling was the highlight of their retirement years as they ventured on cruise ships and river boats.
