Leslie was one of my best friends in Greenville, Fred Whitacre and I got to visit him in Houston at MD Anderson just a few months before his passing. He looked good and was feeling good. Here is the notice Karen Allen (his wife) posted:
With my deepest sorrow and devastation, I must announce the passing of my beloved husband, Leslie Sanders Allen, who passed away peacefully on January 14th, surrounded by his devoted family. He is survived by myself, children Nathan Allen, Scott (Julie) Allen, Jill (Roger Graham) Altman of Austin, Texas, Eve (Shimshon) Wexler of Atlanta, Georgia, siblings Sylvia (Marty) Gertson of Dallas, Texas, Jerry (Ginger) Held, Julie (John) Gilbert of Houston, Texas, Randy (Barbie) Held of Los Angeles, California, and 6 grandchildren: Liam, Lauren, Naomi, and Owen Allen, Charlie and Benji Wexler, and inlaws Cissy and Leonard Held.
He will be missed. We had a great time together at our 50th class reunion.
