Richard Wayne Allen

HONEA PATH — Richard Wayne Allen was a resident of Honea Path for the past 40 years. He was born in Greenwood, SC, and attended Ware Shoals High School.

He loved sports, camping, fishing, gardening, his pets and anything outdoors. He worked at Chiquola Mill for 19 years and, as of recent, he worked part time at Lou and Perrys, where he also enjoyed his favorite past time harassing and cutting up with the locals.
