He met and married the love of his life Brenda Sue Allen of Houston, TX and became the father of their only child, daughter Kara, in 1971. He began a life long career in the Scrap Iron and Steel industry in 1976. Allen spent the last 12 years of his career at Pacific Coast Recycling in California, where he retired as the C.O.O. in July of 2008.
