Born on September 25, 1969, in Colorado Springs, Allen graduated from Wagner High School and earned his degree from the College of Staten Island. Following his education, he went on to serve his community as a dedicated member of the NYPD, from which he later retired.
Allen was married to the love of his life, Jill, and was the absolute best father to Phillip and Hayley, as well as a devoted "dog-dad" to Lucy.
Known for his genuine kindness, Allen was the kind of person who would truly do anything for anyone. He was an avid sports fan who found love for Ohio and West Virginia football. He found immense joy in always helping others, spending relaxed days at the beach, and had a hidden love for dancing. His generosity, warm heart, and fun spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
He was the beloved son of Phyliss and Arnold Lederman, and a cherished brother, brother-in-law, son-in-law, and uncle.
