He was the son of Grace Prugh McAllister Darst and James McAllister of Marysville, Ohio. He was preceded in death by his wife, Mary Louise Lamb McAllister and Stepson John Stephen Gnida.
He is survived by daughter-in-law Alice Gnida, Granddaughter Elisabeth Gnida, Grandson Travis Gnida and wife Kate, and two Great-grandchildren Julia and Gabe.
