    Allen was one of the best persons I worked for and worked with at Kemet. Always had a smile for people (me) even when I knew that he was under a lot of pressure. He helped make me a successful and proud maintenance man at Union Carbide/Kemet. Sincere condolences to the family. Rest in peace, Allen
