• Notes

  Birth: Jun. 24, 1927 Death: Sep. 20, 2007 Ralph E. Allar, 80, died on Thursday, Sept. 20, 2007, following a hard-fought 28-year struggle with Parkinson's disease. He was born on June 24, 1927, in Springbrook to Ralph and Irene (Trepania) Allar. He graduated from Spooner High School with the class of 1945. After high school, he served his country as a U.S. Marine. Once discharged from the service, he was employed for 13 years as a supervisor and salesman for Madison Silo. Ralph also worked as a manager for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and in maintenance at Riverside Medical Center before he joined the staff of the Waupaca Foundry in 1966. Ralph made his career at the Waupaca Foundry as a quality assurance manager, retiring in 1988. On February 3, 1951, Ralph married Elaine Schmidt at St. John's Lutheran Church in Shiocton, where he was baptized and confirmed on April 22, 1951. He and Elaine had been married for 56 years at the time of his passing. Ralph was a man of great spirit, a spirit that not even Parkinson's could defeat. He faced the disease on his own terms. He was a man of honor, integrity, and quiet strength. He challenged those who shared his road to be better people. Ralph is survived by his loving wife, Elaine, of Waupaca; children, Barbara Allar of Waupaca, Gene (Rebecca) Allar of Farmerville, La., and Lisa (Rod) Minton of Waupaca and their sons, Derrick, Dylan, and Devin Minton; brothers, Duane (Shirley) of Eatonville, Wash., and Allan (Kathleen) of Beardstown, Ill.; sisters, Loretta Peterson of Springbrook and Betty Allar of Stevens Point; brother-in-law, Robert Schmidt, of Greenville; many nieces and nephews; other relatives; and many friends. He was preceded in death by his parents; father- and mother-in-law, Walter and Theresa Schmidt; and sister-in-law, Joyce Schmidt. [2]
