He was born September 5,1942 to the late James B. Allen and Alma Allen in New Brunswick, New Jersey. He was the third child of five siblings and was affectionately known as “Roy Boy.”

He attended public school in the Middlesex County School System.  After High School, he enlisted in the United States Army until Honorably discharged.

Leroy was a faithful member of the Franklin Park Fire Company for over 15 years, where he worked in various capacities, to include Assistant Chief.

He assisted in the Commodities Ministry at Zion Hill Baptist Church and served his community until he became ill. Leroy was a good friend to all and would help anyone in need. Leroy enjoyed his music and watching the Yankees. His favorite football team was the Minnesota Vikings. He always had a smile or a joke!
