June 10, 1940 – September 25, 2026
Allen Jay Halterman passed away on September 25, 2026 at the age of 86 surrounded by family who loved him dearly.
Born on June 10, 1940, Allen lived a life defined by devotion to the people closest to him. He cherished his family and was always ready to serve when needed. He shared his life with his wife, JoAnn and together welcomed five children. Allen taught by example, and the lessons he shared will be treasured for generations.
He proudly served his country in the US Navy from 1957 to 1963 where he was awarded the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal for service in the Quemoy and Matsu islands. The discipline, loyalty and quiet strength he carried from those years stayed with him for the rest of his life.
Allen worked in air separation most of his life and had a gift for making something as simple as air sound interesting. If you ever wondered about atmospheric science, Allen was always happy to share his knowledge.
Allen was preceded in death by his son, Jeremy. He is survived by his wife, JoAnn; four of his children, William, Robert, James and Heidi; as well as grandchildren, a great-granddaughter, and other family members. He will be deeply missed by all who loved him.
