My Journey Through Life Curtis Anthony Allen was born on May 30th 1963 in Philadelphia Pa. to the late Mrs. Pauline Allen Glover Stokes and the late Mr. Curtis Snead. Curtis was educated in the Philadelphia Public School system where he attended McDaniel Elementary, Vare Jr. High, and Bok Vocational Technical High School. Curtis was a jack of all trades.

He later landed a job at Pincus Brothers where he became highly skilled as a Suit Jacket presser of which he did for almost 20 years. He later moved on to obtain skills in sheet rock and welding. Curtis next venture was to work as a Bellman at Trinona Apts. where he was well loved by his employers and all residents who would encounter his presence on a daily basis. Curtis was a fun-loving guy who loved cracking his corny jokes with family and friends and loved being at home. He was definitely a home body and a very private person. HIS favorite past time was watching TV and especially loved his favorite show the Three Stooges. During Curtis younger years, he developed a love of basketball and football.
