Almon was a “tinkerer”, he would
rather have a garage full of parts and pieces than
to drive away in something new. He was also a man
who loved having an audience; he was known for
playing his guitar and singing for anyone there to
listen.
To say that Almon enjoyed fishing would be an
understatement; in a way it was part of who Almon
was. Fishing was one of the many things in his life
that brought him peace and joy. But above all else,
Almon loved and admired his family; especially his
main man, Zach.
A memorial gathering for Almon will take place from
4:00-6:00pm on Friday, April 19, 2019 at
Fricke-Calvert-Schrader Funeral Home in Lincoln.
Memorial donations may be made in Almon’s name to
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
