Allen E. Sprague, beloved son, brother, husband, father, uncle, grandfather, friend, and servant, now rests in peace with God.

Allen was born and raised in San Francisco with his siblings Bruce and Carol. He graduated from Cal Berkeley in 1957; earning his law degree from Boalt Hall in 1960. Allen retired as City Attorney of Fremont in 1995, having faithfully served Fremont since 1962.

Allen and his beloved wife Judy raised their four daughters: Ursula, Suzan, Julie, and Nancy in their Fremont home, where they reside to this day.

Be it backpacking or ministering, Allen was equally devoted to all of his passions. First and foremost were his family and friends, with whom he shared his love of literature, history, music, art, the outdoors, wildlife, sports, food, and drink.

Allen wore many hats in his eight decades; key among them were St. Anne's Episcopal Church, Kiwanis International, Pathways Hospice, S.I.R.S., Boy Scouts, Fremont Symphony, and Don Edwards Wildlife Refuge.

Allen will always be loved and remembered as a man of knowledge and character.

A Celebration of Life will be held for Allen on Saturday, August 15th, 1pm at St. Anne's Episcopal Church, 2791 Driscoll Rd., Fremont, CA 94539.
