Donald Joseph Alleman

He is survived by his loving wife of 61 years, Carolyn Alleman, his children, Mark Alleman (Wendy) and Heather Alleman (Alisha), and brother, Ralph Alleman. Don is also survived by many sisters and brothers-in-law along with several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, O’Neil and Eunice Alleman and his son, Michael Alleman.

Don was born in New Orleans, LA on June 25, 1939. He had a passion for all sports, but nothing compared to his love of basketball or his gift for playing. He graduated from Redemptorist High School in 1957, where he received many All-Prep, All-Catholic, and All-State basketball honors. Don served in the United States Naval Reserves from 1961 to 1969. He married Carolyn Ann Simoneaux on June 3, 1961. He worked as a rate clerk at multiple trucking companies for over 50 years. He retired from Central Freight Lines in 2006 and devoted the remainder of his life to caring for his wife. He was still an active member of the unique high school fraternity started at Redemptorist High School (TAK), which held many dances and other events for over sixty years and continues to hold quarterly luncheons.
