By -
In 1938 the family moved to New Jersey. The towns he lived in included Union, West Orange, and Elizabeth. In November 1946 the family moved to Elk Mountain in Pennsylvania to start life as dairy farmers.
To help support the farm and his new family, Allan worked for Federal Pacific for several years in the 1950’s and later in 1960, Allan got a job offer from Square D Company in Lexington, KY. In mid-1970 he was transferred to Square D in Oxford, OH where he continued working as an electrical design engineer. He retired from Square D in 1991, having had a rewarding career and having been accredited with 21 patents under his name: 2 with Federal Pacific and 19 with Square D.
Al always had a love for airplanes and said one day he would be a pilot. His dream came true in 1972 when he began taking flying lessons and later became a private pilot. In 1985 Al, along with his best friend Tom Schroeder, built his first aircraft from scratch using plans he had purchased and the same year he received his Instrument Ratings License and his Sea Plane License. Al owned 8 different aircraft over the years, including his homebuilt, “Good-for-Nothing.” He retired from flying in 2013.
The family has lived in Indiana from 1970 to the present. On Wednesday, August 4, 2021, at the age of 92, Allan passed peacefully at home.
Those surviving who will cherish Allan’s memory include his 3 children, Dr. Deborah Slicer (Steve Cummings) of Missoula, MT, Sharon (Lyle) Amrhein of Batesville, and Gary Slicer of Liberty; one grandchild, Allison Amrhein Morton (Tom Morton) of Glen Ellyn, IL; one great-grandchild, Charles Morton; stepchildren, Gayle (Bill) Poland of Washinton, PA, Rusty (Shelia) Dorn of Cincinnati, OH, and Mike Dorn of Dayton, OH.
Allan was preceded in death by both of his parents, 2 wives, Vilma Russell in 1965 and Bette Dorn in 2008, and 2 brothers, Donald and Robert Slicer.
Direct cremation was chosen, and no services will be held at the funeral home. To sign the online guestbook or to leave personal memories, please visit ww.cookrosenberger.com. The staff of Cook Rosenberger Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Allan Slicer.
