Herbert was born on September 23, 1940, in Conway, SC, to the late Herbert M. Allen and Flossie Richardson Allen. As the Owner and Founder of H.R.

Herbert was a man of faith, attending Trinity Church in Pinopolis, South Carolina. He was also a proud veteran, serving in the United States Army Reserve for 30 years, where he retired as a Colonel.

He is survived by his wife, Miriam Lawrimore Allen, and their two sons: Gregory Scott Allen (Elizabeth) of Charleston, Roddy Allen (Margaret) of Sullivan's Island, SC, and his four cherished grandchildren: Bailey Werber (Steven), Anna Rhett Allen, Thomas Scott Allen, and Sarah Elizabeth Allen. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister, Margie Allen Hancock.
