Allen F. Hertzog
Dec. 6, 1921 - April 29, 2006
Allen Hertzog, 84, of Sheridan died April 29 in Sheridan.
He was born in Pottsville, Penn., to Howard Sinton and Martha Crone Hertzog.
He moved to Los Angeles with his family in 1929 where he graduated from high school in 1939. Shortly thereafter he entered the U.S. Navy where he served on the battleship "South Dakota" in the Atlantic and Pacific theaters. The ship was in many of the major South Pacific naval battles after Pearl Harbor.
Following his service time Al earned a living as a commercial fisherman in the Los Angeles area while attending Santa Monica City College to earn credits for entering a university. He was accepted to the University of Southern California under the GI Bill for Veterans, and graduated with an engineering degree.
He worked as an engineer for the Aerospace Corporation in Los Angeles and Sacramento, Calif., retiring after many years. During these years he worked on the rockets that launched space vehicles.
After retirement he lived in Gold Beach, Calif., for several years where he was able to indulge in his two favorite pastimes, golfing and fishing and then moved to Sheridan.
Al was strongly influenced in his formative years by growing up in the big depression of the 1930s, followed by the death and destruction associated with a ship-of-the-line that was hit many times by enemy fire. He could be an outwardly gruff and hard person, but was of impeccable character, honesty, and strength. Truly he was a self-made man.
Survivors include his wife, Martha of Sheridan; daughters, Marta Opalich, Mary Flaherty, Donna Todd, Diana Prevo; sons, Alan Hertzog and Mark Prevo; brother, Heber Hertzog; sister, Ruth Knight; and several grandchildren.
Private family service will be held.
