ALLEN O’NEAL: A CELEBRATION OF LIFE


Allen O’Neal, 77, of New York, New York, passed away on December 25, 2021 after a valiant battle with Emphysema. We wish to thank New York Presbyterian Hospital for the expert medical care provided to Allen during his final days, as well as the compassion shown to Yvonne. 


Allen was born on January 19, 1944, to Creola Dinkins in Asbury Park, New Jersey. After Allen graduated from high school, he enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1963 and was honorably discharged in 1966. His rank was private E-2.


After serving in the U.S. Army, Allen became a licensed cosmetologist and was a hair stylist in New York and in 1970 moved to the Cayman Islands where he and his first wife had a hair salon business.


In 1974, Allen returned to the United States and joined the New York Board of Education, Police Division as a School Safety Officer. Allen was often recognized for his superior work ethic and committed service. He received a certificate of appreciation for outstanding service and contributions to the safety program. He was most proud to receive an honor plaque for 25 years of dedicated and loyal service to the NYPD. Allen retired after 30 years of committed service. 


Allen and his first wife, Rose O’Neal, had two children: Mark and Brian.
In 1996, Allen married Yvonne Harrison O’Neal. Allen and Yvonne resided in New York City and remained married until his death. 


Allen’s passion was playing the piano! He taught himself how to play and was quite proficient. He also was a news junkie that thrived on current and world news. For those who knew Allen, knew that he was a philosopher, astrologist, and a true communicator. Allen had a great sense of humor and loved making people laugh. He was an honorable man of great integrity and stood up for what he believed in.


Allen was predeceased by his mother and father, Creola and James, his Aunt Almetta and Uncle Given McClinton and Given Jr. and his Uncle Hardon.
Allen is survived by his beloved sons, Mark O’Neal and his wife, Jessica and his son Brian O’Neal and his wife, Tracey. Grandchildren: Alessandra, Christopher, Brianna and Canon. Great Grandchildren: Karmine and Klover. Cousins: Euleen Barron, Vivian McClinton, Francene Caroll, Sharon McDonald and Hardon Dinkins, Jr.


   “Weep not for me or wish me back,
   I am now free from my pain
   In my Father’s arms I rest,
   That’s where I long to be.
   You watched me beside my bed,
   Now I will watch for you and
   When you reach the golden gate,
   I’ll come and lead you through.”
                                                

Services will be held at Krtil Funeral Home in New York City on Monday, January 3, 2022 at 9:00 am – 10:30 am. Final resting place will be at Calverton National Cemetery, 210 Princeton Blvd Calverton, NY 11933 in Suffolk County, NY.
