RESPONSES/COMMENTS (OBITUARIES)

RE: The Passing of Allan R. Stark, DPM

 

It is with heavy heart and deep sorrow that I share the passing of my mentor, associate, and dear friend, Dr. Allan R. Stark. Dr. Stark graduated from USC followed by the California College of Podiatric Medicine. He served in the U.S Army active duty and reserves for 25 years and retired as a Lieutenant Colonel.

 

Dr. Allan Stark

 

Dr. Stark worked in private practice in the City of Orange, California. He was a strong supporter of the profession, prolific in recruiting students to podiatric medical schools and working to help further the scope of podiatric practice in the US. He served as President of the California Podiatric Medical Association and also Director and Instructor of The California School of Podiatric Radiography.

 

Dr. Stark also felt very strongly about supporting his community. As a lifelong member of Rotary, he served as President of his local club and later as District Governor for the Southern California region. Generous to a fault, he was the definition of a gentleman and kind soul. Not enough good things can be said about Dr. Stark. He will be sorely missed.
