Allen O. Getz, former longtime resident of South Portland, Maine and Dade City, Florida, passed away unexpectedly May 3, 2021 in Temple Terrace, Florida at the age of 81. He was born the son of Clarence H. Getz and Florence M. Orcutt on April 17, 1940 in Springfield, Massachusetts. After high school, his family moved to Caribou, Maine and he attended the University of Maine before enlisting in the U.S Army in 1963.

In 1967, he married Margaret A. Cannan in Caribou, Maine and then moved to Bangor, Maine where they had their two identical twin sons, Andrew and Matthew. The family eventually relocated to South Portland, Maine in 1968 before moving to Florida in 1982. Allen spent more than 30 years in food/beverage sales working for Kraft Foods, B.D. Stearns and Lykes Pasco, was a proud volunteer for the Engine 6 fire department in South Portland, and a devout Episcopalian parishioner and volunteer at St. Mary's and St. Andrew's Episcopal Churches in Dade City and Tampa, respectively. In the early 1990s he changed careers and became a professional property manager, a career he held until his retirement.

Allen is survived by his sons Andrew (Stacey) of Dade City, Florida and Matthew (Amy) of Kennesaw, Georgia, brother Richard of Falmouth Foreside, Maine, and grandchildren Taylor, Connor, Ryan, Kyle and Amanda.

Per his wishes, no services are planned at this time. In lieu of flowers, the family would ask that donations be made to the American Heart Association.
