David A. Allen, Jr.

David Andrew Allen, Jr. passed away on June 14, 2023 from Alzheimer’s disease. 

Raised in Pompton Lakes NJ, David was the son of David Allen, Sr. and Doris Allen. He was one of five children. He married Jill Windwer in 1994, moved to Glen Ridge, NJ and had a son, Davis, in 1996.

David graduated from Trenton State (now the College of New Jersey) and worked as a graphic artist until the birth of his son. He then became a stay-at-home dad, later going back to school for audio engineering and then guitar repair. He started his own guitar repair business which he ran for several years.

David was an avid fisherman. He self-published a book called “Fishing for Beginners” in the early ‘90s. He rarely missed opening day of trout season and in the winter often went ice fishing. He loved the outdoors and music. He played several instruments including keyboard, guitar, mandolin and trumpet.

David is survived by his wife, son and siblings - Kate, Donna, Doug and Carol as well as nieces and nephews - Chris, Al, Laura, Kevin and Nicole.
