Read MoreI am hearing of Uncle Joe's loss late, but it is still a big loss for me. I remember teaching in his courses and still use many of those lessons with students today. Uncle Joe, you will be missed but will live in my heart.

Connie and I are so sorry to learn of Joe's passing. In a different world, we would come together and share stories of Joe and some of the things we did together in the Chemistry Department and in a canoe on the river. Just know that we will remember your dad with great fondness.

I just learned of your Dads passing today (4/22/20) while searching for you. I've been reflecting ~ my years in Clemson (our school friendship even after I moved to GA.).I chose Berry College because of you Debby & your Mom & Dad. They were inspiring. I have happy memories at your family home & 2 beautiful graduation frames from our college life walking the Berry experience~With gratitude for its path.
Thinking of you at this time with friendship & peace.
I hope soon we...

So Sorry to read of Dr. Allen's passing. I worked with him in the Chemistry Dept back in the 80's. He was always friendly and helpful in any way that he could. A friend to all. God bless you during this time. Kaye Fowler

I had the privilege of meeting Joe after his retirement. Often he would visit the chemistry department and stop by my office for a little chat. It was always an uplifting conversation. His smile and genuine greetings brightened the halls. A light has now left this place but I know his joy is endless now that he has joined his beloved Doris. My thoughts and prayers will be with the family.
