Through his young years, he helped with the family farm which he loved. After graduating from Bertram High School, he married Dell Maxwell of Burnet, Texas. Shortly after, he entered the U.S. Navy and was stationed in California. When he returned to Bertram from the Navy, Dell and Joe left for Portland, Oregon, where he worked in the shipyards.

Joe was a faithful, God-loving Christian and a member of First Baptist Church of Oak Hill.
Joe enjoyed meeting people and being in the business world. He loved family gatherings, being with relatives and friends, and sharing his stories. He looked forward to having breakfast with his fellow firefighters and the yearly BBQ. Joe also looked forward to traveling in his RV and seeing the great creations of this earth. His favorite was the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. He loved to travel with family and friends, and sit and watch the animals as they grazed in the valleys.
Joe was the youngest of eight children. He was preceded in death by his sisters, Estell McMurtry, Lucy Rollings, and Alberta Vesperman and his brothers, Rex Allen, C.L. Allen, Jr., Van Allen, and Bill Allen.
