Obituary
MIDDLETON – Allen Wayne Elliott passed away at his longtime home in Middleton on Thursday, Sept. 17, 2020, at the age of 64. He is survived by his brothers, Paul Hohlstein, wife Karli, of Georgetown, Texas, John Hohlstein, wife Kendra, of Portage, Wis. and Terry Bohn, wife Corene, of Madison, Wis.; sisters, Connie Vasquez, husband Greg, of Campbell, Calif., Kim Hohlstein of Sarasota, Fla. and Tammy Hohlstein of Highland, Wis.; nephews, Trevor Hohlstein, Dustin Elliott, Cameron Vasquez, Jake Hohlstein and Dillon Hohlstein; nieces, Aimee Leach, Erin Brennum, Amanda Swasey, Karrisa Hohlstein, Paige Hohlstein and Rebecca Hohlstein; and nine great-nieces and nephews. Allen was loved by all and we will all miss his annual holiday visits and our sibling time in Middleton, Camp Randall and Lambeau.
Allen was proceeded in death by his mother, Dawn Bohn; his brother, Richard; his stepfather, Earl Elliott; and his father, John Hohlstein.
Allen was a longtime member of the Middleton Fire Department where he served as a volunteer firefighter, retiring after 31 years. He loved his time as a firefighter, always stopping by firehouses when he traveled to collect a piece of memorabilia and to start a conversation, as we all know he could talk to anyone. He retired after 37 years working for the Middleton School District where he made many friends and truly enjoyed the interaction with teachers and coworkers.

So sorry to hear about Al's passing. I remember him warmly from working at Kromrey for so many years. Al was there smiling and joking around. I liked to give him a hard time asking him for things for my classroom. He was always willing to please. He will be greatly missed. Prayers for his family and friends during this difficult time.

Al was such a kind person. Always willing to help but sometimes had to ask why first. Just to get your reaction, when he was going to do what needed to get done all along. He will be missed by family and friends that is for sure!

I had the pleasure of getting to know Al while working at Kromrey Middle School. He was always there to support if there was an urgent health need. Al was fun to joke with - we had many laughs. He was hard working and attentive to the needs at Kromrey. Rest in Peace, Al. I feel blessed to have know you.

I have many fond memories of Al while working at Kromrey...he helped me and my students so many times over the years. He was funny, patient, and dedicated to his work. May he rest in peace now, after a life well-lived.
