Frank S. Allen, Sr.

October 16, 1929 - April 4, 2017

Frank S. Allen, Sr. Age 87, of Penn Hills, passed away peacefully on Tuesday April 4, 2017, in the Family Hospice and Palliative Care center, Lawrenceville. Born on October 16, 1929 in Bridgewater, PA, he was the son of the late Alex and Louise Steptoe Allen. He previously served his country as a member of the United States Army before retiring as mill foreman from the Crucible Steel plant in Midland, PA. In addition to his parents, Frank was preceded in death by his brothers, Leroy Johnson and Alex "DeeDee" Allen, Jr., sisters, Harriet Coleman, Mary Turner, Winnifred "Sis" Reynolds and Eleanor Porter, and wife, Vernell Allen. He was the proud father of 3 children and their spouses, Frank and Jennifer Allen, Jr., Baldwin; Cynthia and Brian Sallis, Midland, all of Pennsylvania and Rhea Heggins of New Orleans, Louisiana. He also adored 5 grandchildren, 1 great-grandchild and a host of nieces and nephews. Along with those family members that he leaves behind, he is also survived by his devoted companion and long-time girlfriend, Sadie Heggins, Penn Hills. In keeping with the wishes of the deceased, any services and interment will be private and take place at a later time. He'd rather have people "go down to the water to fish" than to stand around fussing over him. R.I.P., "Satch"; you will be missed but never forgotten.
