Allen Wald

Allen Wald, born on April 3rd, 1967 in Waukesha, Wisconsin, passed away peacefully on January 20th, 2025 in Green Bay, Wisconsin after a 4 year battle with cancer. He was raised in Waukesha by Shirley and Owen, who formally adopted him on February 14th, 1979.

A proud graduate of Waukesha North High School, Allen enlisted in the United States Navy, serving honorably for four years. His service took him on tour through Canada, Mexico, the Philippines, North and South Korea, and Australia with stations in San Diego and Pearl Harbor. After his honorable discharge from the military, Allen spent 15 years working at Generac in Waukesha before moving on to various other manufacturing positions in northeastern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

On May 18th, 1996, Allen married the love of his life, Marge. He was a hard worker, devoted husband, and cherished family man, finding joy in the simple things. Watching cooking and game shows, solving puzzles, and spending time with family were all he needed to be fulfilled. 

Allen is survived by his wife Marge, stepdaughter Michele Walechka, step-granddaughter Kayla (Justin) Aaron and family, stepson Brad (Deena) Walechka, grandson-in-law Alex Perleberg, mother Shirley, sister Kathy (Allen) Nyhuis, and brother Larry, along with countless other loved ones. He was preceded in death by his father Owen and brother Donald.

The family wishes to thank Unity Hospice for their compassionate care, and they wish to extend a special heartfelt thanks to Aunt Val for her assistance and unwavering support during this time. 

A celebration of Allen’s life will take place in July, at Crawford Funeral Home in Bark River, Michigan, with an internment in Wilson Cemetery following the service. Date and time TBA. 

Al will be remembered for his calm, gentle nature, his patience, his total devotion to Marge, and his love for family. He will be greatly missed.
