SEAMAN 1ST CL US Navy
World War II
1927 - 2014
David Allgeyer was born October 31, 1927 in St. Louis, MO. He passed away September 14, 2014. He was preceded in death by his parents, Charles Paul and Sidney Elizabeth (Freesmeier) Allgeyer; brother, Paul; and sister, Betty. He is survived by his wife; three children, David, Judy, and Janet (Hart); and three grandchildren, Lesslie, Jennifer, and Jonathan Hart.
David entered the Navy Air Corp. immediately upon graduating from high school in WWII, and was discharged and returned to St. Louis in 1946. In 1948, he married his high school sweetheart, Marianne Schmidt, with whom he shared a wonderful happy marriage for over 60 years until the time of his death. He attended Washington University night school while working in the Eng. Dept. of Anheuser-Busch, and received a Certificate of Architecture in 1954.
In 1960, he left A-B Inc. and became Chief Engineer of a new refrigerated equipment manufacturing plant in Conway, Arkansas. In 1969, he became it’s VP of Operations.
David led a full and enjoyable life and remained exceptionally healthy and physically fit well into his 80’s. He loved his job and all the fine people he worked and associated with over the years, and served on the Board of Directors of the Conway Country Club.
He and Marianne both loved the good music of their generation, and after retirement, he also enjoyed writing, including a book, “The Tip of the Island”, which served as a historic guide to lower Manhattan Island, where his company’s corporate office was located on Wall Street.
David enjoyed his work, and just having a wonderful, happy, and healthy wife and family, and relatives and friends were far more important…so he always considered himself lucky, and his life was as good as it gets!
