Gerald Allgood Obituary

Few days go by that I don't recall some event involving Jerry Allgood. Such a good and trusted friend. How I miss him. May he rest in peace.

Dear Cleo and family,
Few days go by that my thoughts don't reach out to Jerry and Cleo Allgood and the wonderful year we shared as neighbors at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Those were very special days. Jerry and I became close friends during that year, 48-years ago, and remained so until Jerry's death five years ago. He had a special, mirthful spirit about him and I miss him greatly. I am so grateful for our continuing friendship with you, Cleo. Blessings to you and your wonderful family.

Dear Cleo and Family,

It was with profound sadness that we received word that Jerry had died. As you know, we've been good and trusted friends since first meeting the Allgood family over forty years ago at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas. Think of all the good times we shared: Going over the cliff in your car in the mountains of Colorado with snow sleds and winter gear flying inside the car; mentoring and entertaining the Laotian officers during the Command and General Staff College; flying to Colorado Springs to visit a time-share and then undergoing hours of high pressure sales pitches before we could get away; introducing you at the Officers' Club as Miss North Dakota and having it misunderstood by an inebriated officer as Miss Nova Scotia; watching our neighbor's dog destroy the steaks he had put on the hibachi grill. I could go on and on listing the memories we share.

I know the loss of your beloved husband, father, father-in-law and grandfather will be felt for a long time. But the good memories survive. Think of the good times.

God bless,

Jim and Pat Van Straten

The Allgood family is in our prayers. We have the privilege to know Brad, Paula and the kids. He has left a beautiful legacy behind that we cherish. Our prayers are with you at this time.

Dear Cleo and Family,
Words can not express my feelings of loss when I read of Jerry's death. He was my best friend in the Military since 1966 and had tremendous influence on my military career. I will always remember his optimism and his sense of humor with an unforgettable laugh. Gerry was an outstanding officer and dedicated leader of The Army Medical Department. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Cleo and family;
I was truly saddened to learn of jerry's passing, and Ann and I want to extend our heartfelt condolences to you. I have nothing but the fondest memories of working with Jerry. There are many stories we could share, bur rest assured he was respected as a leader by example and one who will always have a special place in our military memories.

It is exceptionally sad to learn of Jerry's passing - I hold very fond memories of having the privilege of working with Jerry while we was the Chief of Staff, Health Services Command. He will be very missed; however, he leaves a phenomenal legacy of service, dedication and quest to mentor younger officers in their careers - I pray others will follow his great lead in the future. Jerry will always be a great man in my life ....
