Obituary
Beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, cousin, and uncle, Paul McAllister passed away on Wednesday, July 24, 2024 at the age of 86. Born on September 18, 1937, in Chicago, Illinois, he lived most of his life in the Bay Area, California. He was a proud veteran of the U.S. Army, retiring as Captain McAllister after serving active duty both domestically and in Korea, as well as many years in the reserves. He was also proud to be an architect and to have graduated with an architectural engineering degree from Cal Poly SLO, a school he dearly loved. For more than 30 years, he had his own architectural business in San Jose. With his beloved wife of 60 years Kathleen, they bought their first house on Via Del Sol in north San Jose in 1968 and lived there until relocating to "the farm" in Gilroy in 1997 for their retirement, starting a whole new and amazing chapter in their lives, and the lives of their family.
