Allen L. Schluger, 86, of Easton, passed away May 1, 2018, at Easton Hospital. This creative, people-loving man was the husband of Barbara Conover Schluger; they were married for 46 precious years. Born January 18, 1932 in Los Angeles he was the son of the late Leon and Sadie Schluger. Allen grew up in Philadelphia, where he attended high school. After serving in the army in a MASH Unit in Korea, he pursued formal study of literature and language at the Università per Stranieri in Perugia and of music and theater arts in Vienna (where he appeared in small roles in a number of films, supplied the English undertitles to the film Sisi and briefly hobnobbed with Walt Disney and his staff).

Allen then moved to New York City and a brief acting career there including a role in its famous Shakespeare Festival. This was followed, in the dynamic years of the late 1960s and early 1970s, by his stint as advertising manager of the avant garde magazine Evergreen Review, published by Grove Press.  Allen then spent many years as the independent marketer of his numerous and innovative patented and licensed packages.  Creativity in these various areas led to his recent authorship of several unique novels and novellas.

May an afterlife provide Allen with his classic Porsche and BMW motorcycle, and beautiful music.

In addition to his wife, Allen is survived by dear sisters Dorothy Shooster and Pearl Nipon,  her husband Albert Nipon, sister-in-law Peggy Garwood, brother-in-law Robert Garwood, and numerous cherished nieces and nephews and their families.

Funeral arrangements with the Ashton Funeral Home, Easton are private. A memorial open house is planned in early June.
