Alan Wild Obituary

Wild, Alan G. "AL"

Alan "Al" Gregory Wild, 78, of Woodstock passed away unexpectedly, Tuesday, August 29, 2023, at his residence.

Al was born on October 14, 1944, in Dayton, Ohio, the son of the late Raymond and Clara (Hahn) Wild. He served his country in the United States Army.

Al was a graduate from the University of Dayton receiving his bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering.

He retired from Robbinson-Myers Moyno Division in Springfield, Ohio as the director of engineering. He had a fascinating career travelling the world for business.

He was a member of the North Lewisburg United Methodist Church for many years and presently attended the Vineyard Church in Marysville. Al was also a member of many engineering organizations, Woodstock Lion's club where he served as the secretary treasurer for over 40 years and the Farm Bureau. In the past he served on the Triad and Ridgewood School boards for many years.

He enjoyed maintaining his property, woods, and pond to a park like setting. He also enjoyed boating, hosting family events, volunteering for many community activities; but most of all attending his grandson's activities and spending time with his family.

Al is survived by his loving wife of 50 years, Brenda (Seitz) Wild; his son, Andrew Gregory Wild; grandson, Triston Wild; brother, Joe Wild; sisters, Peg Sholty and Fay (Guy) Mudd as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Also survived by sisters-in-law Sheri Burkhardt and Patricia (Mike) Provost.

He is preceded in death by his parents and a grandson, Ashton Wild.

Alan was my professional mentor for the Moyno Tri-Phaze System. Alan was an avid multiphase fluid flow pump researcher and he developed the most reliable solutions to complex multiphase pumping issues. Alan would share with me the good news whenever Ashton's health improved. It was an honor to meet and work for Alan Wild. My deepest condolences to his family.

Dear Brenda,
I was so sorry to hear about Al's passing. Our mailman came today at 4:38 and when I opened the paper I saw the obituary. I would have been there to pay my respects for a truly wonderful unselfish man. So, so very sorry.
I do have one very funny memory of Al and it concerns one of his 4-H kids in the livestock club - my daughter, Aimee. It was her first year of 4-H and of course she was only 9 years old. I had her fill out her 4-H book by herself (in pencil, thank goodness). In the blank that said 4-H Advisor, she had written Owl Wild. She truly thought that was what everyone said when they addressed him by name! We had a good laugh and an eraser!
Love you, dear one. We will be praying for you and your family.
