Allan Wayne Polson

A 1973 graduate of Albemarle High School, Allan began what would become a lifelong career in the electrical supply industry beginning at Piedmont Electric. In 1975 he joined the U.S. Air Force. During his four-year tenure he served as an Intelligence Analyst for the NSA.

In 1981 he co-founded Elite Electric and later became the "Al" in Alkoh Supply, a local fixture since 1991. He eventually retired from Rexel, leaving behind a legacy of expertise and mentorship in the industry he loved.

Beyond his professional life, Allan was a dedicated member of the Charlottesville Elks Lodge #389 for over 35 years. An avid sports enthusiast, he could always be found cheering on the UVA Cavaliers.

Allan is survived by his sons, Andrew Polson and William Polson; by Andrew’s wife, Ainsley, and their children, Miller, Decker, and Copeley; and by William’s fiancée, Anna Lise Filippone.

He also leaves behind his brothers, Randy Polson and Warren Polson, as well as a community of friends and colleagues who will miss his sharp wit and steady presence.

A service will be held in his honor at Christ Episcopal Church on February 13th at 10am. The family will receive friends following the service. C.E.C. 120 W High St, Charlottesville, VA 22902
