Noah, Allan Frank (26 July 1946 – 22 July 2022)

Allan F. Noah, age 75, of Greenwood, passed away at his home on Friday, July 22, 2022, with his family by his side.

Allan Frank Noah was born on July 26, 1946, in Marshfield, to Arthur A. and Annie K. (Saule) Noah. He was raised on the family farm and then was taken in by his foster parents, Elmer and Joyce Bombach, where Al and several of his brothers were raised on their farm. Al received his education at Rocky Run School, Willard State Graded School, and at Greenwood Public Schools. Al worked various places in Clark County, including; for Stanley Volovsek, for Pat Plautz at Tower Hill Construction; for Dave Volovsek, and for his father-in-law at Noeldner Construction. In 1966, Al went to work for Barr's Minkery, now Barr's Animal Foods, and retired from there after almost 54 years of employment. He was a member of Our Savior's Lutheran Church.

He had many interests, but especially enjoyed spending time with his family, deer hunting, fishing, making maple syrup, working in his sawmill, woodworking, and using his creative engineering to fix anything.

He was preceded in death by his parents: Arthur and Annie Noah; one daughter: Cheryl Lynn Noah on June 8, 2022; his foster parents Elmer and Joyce Bombach; four brothers: Richard "Dick", Ronald, James and Donald Noah; and his sister: Dorothy Huth.
