- Full Obituary
Allan Robert Bloemker, of Orlando, FL, formerly from Highland, IL, passed away on Monday, May 11, 2020, at the age of 81. After a million rounds of golf, he truly expected his back to be what got him, but his big heart gave out first.
Allan was born October 28, 1938, to Harold and Ella Bloemker. An only child, Allan learned his gift of hard work and dedication at a young age while working on the farm. He graduated from Highland High School in Highland, IL and joined the Army, where he was fortunate to be a member of their bowling team and learned to cut hair for favors.
In 1962, he married Carol Fountain and enjoyed 47 years of marriage before she passed in 2009.
Not wanting to work on the farm and self-admittedly unable to have a boss, he opened Al’s Barber Shop on Highland’s town square and maintained this presence for nearly 50 years.
He retired to the warmth of Florida where he was fortunate to meet his current wife, Donna Bloemker, and where he lived to play golf and walk his dog.
He was also preceded in death by his parents, Harold and Ella Bloemker, and is survived by his two children, Rob (Shannon) Bloemker, San Francisco, CA, Kerri (Chris) Cook, St. Charles, IL, as well as six grandchildren, Zachary, Ryan, Mitchell, Madison, Bodhi and River.
Due to COVID-19, there are no services scheduled but a Celebration of Life will be scheduled at a later date.
Meridith Funeral Home, Highland, IL.
