DANIELS
LEON D.
FEB. 6 1940 ... MARCH 18, 2012
The moment that you died, my heart was torn in two. One side filled with heartache, the other died with you. I often lie awake at night, when the world is fast asleep, and take a walk down memory lane with tears upon my cheeks. Remembering you is easy, I do it every day, but missing you is a heartache that never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain. Life here on earth without you will never be the same. We all miss you and love you so much. Your wife, Fay; daughters, Wadina (Preston) and Leaetta; sons, Leon and Marc (Hillary); all your grandkids and great-grandkids (who you never knew), but they will definitely know you. Your sister and brothers-in-law, and many other family and friends.

ALLEN JAMES RUSSELL BELOVED HU...
ALLEN JAMES RUSSELL Beloved husband, father, brother, and son, passed away at Roper Hospital, Charleston, South Carolina, on January 29, 2014. He was 88. He was born on February 7, 1925, in Detroit, Michigan to Russell M. and Helen L. Allen. Jim was blessed with a rich childhood that included years in the Boy Scouts, where he earned the Eagle rank and Order of the Arrow. Later, he graduated from the Staunton Military Academy in Virginia. He proudly served his country in the US Army during WWII with the 104th Infantry Division in Europe. He earned a battlefield promotion to Lieutenant and was awarded the Silver Star and Purple Heart. His reverence for and devotion to his wartime friendships and experiences remained with him for the rest of his life. He was especially proud to be able to participate in an Honor Flight experience with his two sons in 2012. Jim married Marjorie Jean Bowers in 1947 in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania. After earning his degree from Penn State University, they raised four children, living in Connecticut, New Jersey, and Michigan as he pursued his passion for selling stainless steel. He worked for Wallingford Steel of Wallingford, Connecticut and Allegheny Ludlum Steel of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He was a gifted salesman who thrived on the relationships he made throughout his lengthy and successful career. In 2000, several years after retiring, he and Marjorie moved to Aiken, South Carolina, where she died in 2008. While living in Connecticut, he and Marge were members of the Farms Country Club where they formed many strong friendships. Jim served as the club's president from 1989-1990. In Aiken, Jim and Marge embraced their life at Cedar Creek where he continued his love affair with the game of golf. Throughout his life, he was an avid reader, enthusiastic cribbage player, and relished any reason, athletic or otherwise, for a friendly wager. He remained a devoted Nittany Lion and Big Ten fan until the day he died. In later years, Jim actively pursued his Christian faith and became a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Aiken, South Carolina. He was comforted by his associations there and treasured his friendships with neighbors, George and Marjorie Milne and special companion, Mary Alice Lockhart. He is survived by one brother, Robert (Betty Lynn) of San Antonio, Texas; and four children, Nancy Harris (John) of Loma, Colorado, Catherine Share of Portland, Maine, Richard Allen (Marie) of Charleston, South Carolina, and Donald Allen (Cheryl) of Charleston, South Carolina. In addition, he is survived by 13 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, March 29, 2014, at 11:00 a.m. at the First Presbyterian Church, 224 Barnwell Avenue NW, Aiken, SC 29801.
