In later years, Allen took care of his father who passed away in 2005.  Allen later moved to Morris where he continued to live until the time of his death. 

Allen was a lifelong member of Kongsvinger Lutheran Church and in his later years, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. Allen currently served as the president of the Stevens County Genealogical Society; he was a member of the Donnelly Community Club and was the head of West Wind Village family and friend’s council for over 10 years. In April 2008, he began writing the Donnelly News and continued to until the time of his death.
