Born in Orangeburg, SC, he was a son of late Harvey Lester Allen and Patricia Cook Jeffcoat. William was a graduate of Piedmont Technical College where he earned a degree in gunsmithing. He spent hours working on firearms, a hobby that reflected his meticulous nature and appreciation for craftsmanship. He was a lifetime member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. William also worked for many years as a truck driver and enjoyed traveling. He loved taking trips with his wife to the beautiful mountains of Tennessee, especially to visit Maggie Valley, where they created countless memories. He had a passion for cars and enjoyed working on them and building models.
