Allan Schwartz

Allan Schwartz, 77, of Parkesburg, PA passed away suddenly in his home on Friday, September 15, 2023.

Allan is survived by his daughter, Debbi, and her longtime partner, Isaac Vermilye, both of whom he loved and looked forward to spending time with for dinners, Eagles games, and holidays.

Allan is also survived by his sister, Rhoda Bulkin of Philadelphia, PA, his brother, Donald, and his wife Linda of Sarasota, FL, and his brother, Stanford of Bothell, WA. Allan also had 11 nieces and nephews and six grandnieces and nephews. Additionally, he was preceded in death by his favorite uncle, Samuel Schwartz, and his ex-wife Mary Jane Anderson, who he remained good friends with.

Allan loved his family very much and looked forward to phone calls and visits.

Allan was born on December 15, 1945, in Philadelphia, PA to the late Hyman and Charlotte Schwartz. He was preceded in death by his brothers Erwin, Jerome, and his sister, Sandi Melrose.

Allan grew up in Southwest Philadelphia and moved to West Chester, PA in 1982. He was in sales and later had a passion for different collections. Allan was known for his contagious sense of humor, quick wit, and infectious smile. He was unique in that he could always turn a negative situation into a positive with a joke. He was grateful for all the people in his life and was always the first to wish a happy birthday or say congratulations. He enjoyed nothing more than riding his motorcycle, fishing, bowling, and games of chance. He will be missed tremendously by all who knew him.

May his memory be a blessing.
