Allen was a devoted father and husband, and he had many hobbies and interests in life. He grew up playing sports, and as an adult he loved coaching. He also loved parades. He was a member of the Krewe of Endymion for 43 years, where he served as a float lieutenant. He was also a member of Bacchus and Caesar, and he rode in the Irish-Italian and St. Patrick’s parades in Metairie. He loved playing golf with family and friends, primarily at Money Hill Golf and Country Club where he was a member. Allen was the Chief Financial Officer of Equilibrium Catalyst, Inc., which he cofounded in 1992. Vacations with family and friends were important to him, especially cruises around the world. His birthday was December 31st, and as such he loved ringing in the New Year with fireworks, preferably as loud as possible. And later in life he enjoyed taking his mini dachshunds for walks around the neighborhood. He had served in the Louisiana National Guard, supported the Knights of Columbus, and was a Saints season ticket holder. He will be missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him.
