He was born in Northwest Township in Orange County to Frank and Alice (Blankenship) Allen. He was the youngest of eight children, having six sisters and one brother.

Paul retired from Crane N.A.D. in 1971 after 30 years. He started there working for the contractors who built Crane and then went to work for the Navy when the depot opened. He also owned the Martin County General Store at Roland for many years where he always enjoyed the company of all the neighbors and friends who would be in and out of the store daily. Paul was baptized in Sam's Creek in the 1930's and became a member of Beechwood Christian Church in 1977. He was the oldest active member of the church, never missing Sunday morning services.
