William Allerton Obituary
A funeral service will be held on Friday February 14 at 1:00 p.m. at the Penn Yan United Methodist Church, 155 Main Street, Penn Yan. A reception will be held following the service at the Penn Yan United Methodist Memorial Building.
Bill was born on December 2, 1926 in Newark, New York, the son of Roger M. Allerton Sr. and Agnes (Huxley) Allerton. He is predeceased by his wife, Jane Allerton; as well as his twin brother Roger Allerton Jr.; and his brother in-law Jack M. Derby.
He is survived by one son, W. David (Mary Anne) Allerton of Mendon; grandchildren, Lisa Fauber of Rochester and Brian (Kristina) Allerton of Henrietta; step-grandchild, Katie Shanken of Rochester; and great grandchildren, Heather and Sterling Fauber; and Isla and Violet Allerton; and dear friend Julie Case.
Bill was married to Jane for 67 years and during that time enjoyed many trips to Europe and across the United States. He was employed at the Seneca Army Depot as an Explosives Operator Foreman, retiring in 1985. Following retirement, he was employed as Court Attendant for 12 years at the Yates County Sheriff's Office. In 1952 he joined the Penn Yan United Methodist Church and was very active on many committees. He also served as an usher and was a Trustee for the church. Bill was also a member of the local NARFE Chapter 1620 and a volunteer driver for Meals-On-Wheels. He enjoyed spending time with family and friends as well as watching the METS on TV.
A private burial will be held in the Newark Cemetery in the spring.

So very sad to hear of Mr. Allerton's passing...he was fondly remembered by not only myself and my husband who worked at the Depot, but also by my Uncle Gene who worked with Bill, and spoke of him often while both were at the Depot. My condolences to his family, extended family, friends and co-workers. The Depot family will remember him and all who were instrumental during his time.
