August 10, 1943 – August 30, 2022
Allen H. Schultz, Carmel, and Naples, Fla., died suddenly on August 30, 2022, at the age of 79.
Allen leaves behind his beloved wife, Jan Guy (nee Giebelhaus); his son, Erik (Jaimie Morgan); daughter, Elizabeth (Brian Ryba); stepdaughter, Michelle Mericle (Kevin McLaughlin); and step-grandchildren, Addison and Jackson. He was the fond big brother of the late Daniel Schultz and of Peter (Lorie) Schultz. He is also survived by several nieces, nephews, and cousins; his former wife, Helga Norderhus Schultz; many dear friends; and his dogs, Bella and Lilly.
Allen was born August 10, 1943, in the Bronx, N.Y., to Beatrice (nee Ahrens) and Wilfred Schultz. He received a B.S. at the College of Ceramics at Alfred University. He completed his M.S. and PhD in Ceramic Science at Penn State University and a fellowship at the Norwegian University Science and Technology. He worked for more than 40 years in metallurgical processes and project engineering in the U.S. and internationally.
Allen loved crossword puzzles, new library books, and travel. He was smart, curious, opinionated, and stubborn. He had a sly sense of humor and a bark of a laugh. He was a good provider. He loved baseball, especially Gil Hodges and the Dodgers of his childhood; the New York Giants; and the Nittany Lions. He was, in his own estimation, the handsomest of his brothers. We thank him for everything, and we will miss him.
In accordance with Allen’s wishes, cremation has taken place. Friends are invited to attend a celebration of life from 3 to 6 p.m. on Sunday, September 11 at the Bridgewater Club, 3535 E. 161st St., Carmel.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to local Meals on Wheels, where Allen volunteered wherever he lived.
