Fritz Von Allmen's Obituary
Fritz Von Allmen went to be with his loving wife on November 18th, 2020. He passed away in his sleep at Canterbury Inn Assisted Living. He was 92.
He will be missed!
Fritz served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. He was a cowboy who loved horses and rodeos, he also loved Swiss music, fishing, baseball, bowling and planting his vegetable garden and watching it grow. If something was broken; he could pretty much fix it and make it work again!
Dairy Farming was in his blood. For over 40 years he and his wife Datie ran a small dairy in Warren, Oregon. Being Swiss, cows were special to him, some of the cows were named for neighbors or farmers he purchased them from. And although chained to them milking them twice a day, every day, 365 days a year; he never once complained! Yet he was always ready to help the farmer next door who might need help getting their hay in before it rained!
Fritz loved family and is survived by his Sons: Randy Von Allmen (Vi) and Greg Bassine (Charlene). Grand Children: Geoff Von Allmen (April) and Elise Himes (Dustin), Kellie Wolbers and Gregory Bassine (Heba); Great Grand Children:
Edith, Fiona, Zoe, Abigail, Henry and Holly; Michael, Angela, and Jeremy.
His God was his inspiration, and he lived his life with love and kindness! If someone needed help, he was always there.
He always had his special farm dogs Lady, Lizzie and Selma whom he loved like family.
Fritz will be buried in his family plot in a private service for his immediate family.
