Allan was born on April 1, 1954, in Grand Island to Eldon T. and Lillian D. (Peters) Stobbe. Survivors of the immediate family include his wife Bonnie of Grand Island; a son Thomas Rehder, Jr. of Grand Island; daughters and son-in-law, Angela and Eric Hardekopf of Grand Island, Jeri Ward of Iowa, his mother, Lillian Stobbe of Grand Island; two brothers and sisters-in-law, Ted and Cindy Stobbe of Grand Island, Don and Pat Stobbe of Kansas City, and two sisters and brothers-in-law, Sheila and Bob Krolikowski of Grand Island, and Roxie and Jason Zoucha of Grand Island. He also is survived by eight grandchildren, Makayla Stobbe, Thomas Rehder III, Brody and Ethan Hardekopf, and Ronnie, Duane, Dominick and Matthew Fowlkes. Allan was preceded in death by his father, three brothers, John, Joseph and Gary Stobbe, and a grandson, Marcus Fowlkes.
Allen grew up in Grand Island and graduated from Grand Island Senior High School. He entered the United States Marine Corps on May 29, 1973, and was honorably discharged on June 27, 1977. On Feb. 21, 1985, he entered the United States Navy and served until his retirement on Nov. 30, 1994. Allan was united in marriage to Bonnie Ward on Sept. 8, 1978, in Grand Island. The couple briefly made their home in Kansas City. During Allan's military service they made their home in Virginia Beach, Va., Kingsville, Texas and again in Virginia Beach, Va. Following his retirement they returned to Grand Island where he was employed by the Grand Island Public Schools until retiring due to poor health. He was an avid Husker football fan and he enjoyed watching westerns and M.A.S.H. He also enjoyed playing cards and playing with his dog, Bonnie Sue.
Allan always stayed busy, but most of all he loved spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren. His family and friends will always remember how he battled cancer with endless courage and determination, never letting it get him down.
