1922 - 2019

George Allen Allred, our father and grandfather, passed away on June 28th, 2019 at the Veteran’s Home in Salt Lake City. He was 97 years old.

Dad was born April 7 1922 in Redmond, Utah to George Aaron Allred and Christine Petersen.

“Uncle Bud” served in World War II under General George Patton. He was a mechanical engineer who enjoyed inventing and experimenting. He could fix anything. If there were things he needed he made them. He served all his life in his church. He loved his family. Later in life his passion was genealogy. He did it for family, friends, neighbors, ward members and many in the rest home right up until the day before he died.
