Allen Siderowicz, age 70, of Scranton, passed away Wednesday at Geisinger Community Medical Center, after an illness.
A Scranton native, Allen was born on June 3, 1949. It was Allen’s strength, resiliency and determination to overcome an unfortunate upbringing that made those in his extended family most proud. For three decades he had been a fixture within The Arc of Northeastern Pennsylvania and his loved ones will certainly never forget the strives he made to become the person he was.
A loyal Walmart shopper, he also loved his ice cream and a fresh short haircut. He’ll long be missed.
He is survived by his family, The Arc of NEPA.
Private services with burial at Cathedral Cemetery in West Scranton will be celebrated by the Rev. Richard Fox, St. Patrick’s Parish pastor.
Memorial contributions may be made in Allen’s name to the Arc of NEPA, 115 Meadow Ave., Scranton, PA 18505.
Arrangements are under the care of the Kevin K. Kearney Funeral Home Inc., 125 N. Main Ave., Scranton.
