Dec 27, 1947 – May 29, 2025 (Age 77)
Allen Checca died peacefully on May 29, 2025, in Roanoke, Va. In the 15 years since suffering a major stroke, he lost the ability to walk and talk. Below is the obituary he wrote for himself. I died Thursday, May 29, 2025. Don't grieve for me. I'm in heaving walking, running, soaring and telling...

Al and Lois were our neighbors for about 10 years. We loved them both very much. Al always had a joke and a smile! One day he came over and asked me, "Can Greg come out to play?" He took him flying in his plane. They had a great time together that day! Al will be miss by anyone that knew him and loved him!

Rest in peace, Al. It was great knowing you and working with you, particularly during the exciting time of construction and startup of LaSalle Station. That took a great Team and every one of us were essential. We would all like to do more, but our accomplishments are bigger than we remember. We all remember you with honor.
