Allen Painter Obituary
Aug 26, 1949 - Feb 25, 2025
Milan
Allen Painter, 75, of Milan, passed away suddenly Tuesday, February 25, 2025.
Allen was born August 26, 1949, in Lodi, Ohio. He greatly loved his wife and family. He was extremely proud of his children and grandchildren, and he rarely met a stranger. He was the sole proprietor and operator of Firelands Barber Shop in Huron for over 43 years. Throughout his four decades in business, he listened to a lot of stories from behind the barber chair, told a few himself, but most of all appreciated the wonderful community connections he made.
He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Carol (Demboske); and children, Jennifer (Robert) Cornelison of Sandusky, Melanie (Jeremy) Love of Sandusky, and Dennis (Heidi) Painter of Vermilion; grandchildren, Cassi Wineland, Haley Cornelison, Gideon Love, Andrew Cornelison, Everett Painter, and Amelia Painter; and three great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his brother, David (Dawn) Painter of North Ridgeville; sister-in-law, Laurie Kuklis of Brecksville; and several nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Corbett and Creda (nee Parker) Painter; and a brother, Ronald Painter.
Visitation for family and friends will be 4-6 p.m. Monday, March 3, 2025, at Evans Funeral Home, 314 E. Main Street, Norwalk.

I just found out a little while ago that Allen had passed away. I am very sorry for your loss. He was my barber since since he started in the early 1980's. I'll miss just hanging out there with him after he was done cutting my hair and talking sports. He will be greatly missed.

Mrs. Painter and family. I'm so sadden treading that Al has passed. I so sorry for your loss. He cut my hair for the past 40 plus years. The last 23 years of me coming from Kelleys Island, prior to living in Huron. We reminisced about many things over the years, but he was never happier and proud of you and the children. He enjoyed his time as an umpire. He will be sadly missed by all the friends he made with in the Huron area. God bless him, and God bless you all.

So sorry to learn of the passing of your husband and family member. I really did not know him but as a neighbor I am thinking of you during this difficult time. As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
I am sorry for your loss, with my deepest sympathy, Linda

I remember Allen as my barber in Huron. Good guy with a story to tell. Tom said he played football at Elyria in the late 60´s and remembered getting creamed for a loss by Sandusky High School great Thom Darden and Thom telling him as he layed on the ground, "welcome to the Buckeye Conference." There was a smile on his face when he told the story as I sat in his barber´s chair.
