Allan followed his father into the Navy during WWII and reenlisted during the Korean War. He was a proud Navy man and was past commander and active member of the Sam Neivelt Post #407 of the Jewish War Veterans. He had the pleasure of participating in an Honor Flight for WWII Veterans. Allan was a devoted Bears fan, world traveler, and claimed allegiance to the White Sox over the Cubs. He knew that hotdogs are always all beef, one quarter pound, and never have ketchup! Allan had a decades long work ethic that started as an underage lifeguard with the city of Chicago as he was an avid swimmer for Lane Tech and Von Stuben High School. He continued a lifetime of hard work as founder and President of Key-Chem Industries for decades; he retired at 88 and missed his work.
