Anthony Gerard Allman, Sr.

Anthony Gerard Allman, Sr., known to many as Tony, passed away on October 10, 2026, in Albany, New York, after complications from a fall. He was 68.

Born on January 8, 1958, in Newark, Ohio, Tony built a life marked by devotion to his family, commitment to his work, and enthusiasm for the pursuits he loved most. He retired as an executive from Micros Corporation at age 46, where he formerly served as Vice President of Sales. His professional life reflected leadership and dedication, and he was respected for the role he played throughout his career.

Outside of work, Tony found great enjoyment in golf and flying, interests that brought him both challenge and pleasure over the years. Tony was lucky to have 7 holes in one!  He also gave generously of his time to the community as a longtime Board Member and former Chairman of First Tee of Aiken, a role that reflected his support for others and his lasting involvement in an organization close to his heart. Tony was also heavily involved with the Junior Invitational for many years.

Tony was a faithful soul with a heart devoted to God. He found peace in His presence, strength in his faith, and comfort in spending time with Jesus in Eucharistic Adoration each week.

Tony donated blood and platelets at Shepeard Community Blood Center where he was Aiken’s Top Platelet Donor for the years 2014 and 2015. He also donated over 29 gallons of blood throughout many years.

He also leaves behind his children, Troy Wright and his wife, Rachel; Sean Wright and his wife, Erika; Kristina Rohr and her husband, Ed; and Anthony Allman, Jr. and Stacy Daily. Tony leaves behind 8 grandchildren, 6 great grandchildren, along with many nieces, nephews and countless friends. Tony is also survived by his sisters, Sue Street and Kathy Disney and brother-in-law, David Wagmer and his wife Jane. The love of his family will remain a lasting part of his memory, and those who knew him through family ties will continue to carry his presence with them.

He was preceded in death by his father, Edward Allman; his mother, Mary Ellen Kilbarger Allman; his sister, Rosemary Rodgiguez; and his brother, Edward Allman.
