Beloved Husband of Erica Morgan Allen. Father of Alex, Christian and Zachary Allen. Preceded in death by his son Micah Noel Allen. Son of the late Noel Allen and Gayle Jones Allen. Also survived by two sisters, one brother, and many nieces and nephews. He was the owner of Crescent Lock for the past 22 years. Bill was a loving and faithful husband, father and friend to many. His family was most important to him. Bill's admiration for his wife Erica was evident by the smile on his face every time she walked into the room and he took great joy in watching Alex, Christian and Zachary succeed in sports and in life. Bill will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. Bill was a dedicated and compassionate coach to his sons and many other boys in the Slidell area and at John Curtis Christian School. His love for all of the kids was undeniable and most certainly unforgettable. "Coach Bill" will be remembered for his enthusiastic spirit and inspirational post game "speeches".
