Allen C. Fanger, Ph.D., 73, of Wescosville, died May 25, 2015, peacefully with his family by his side. He was the husband of Lucille Fanger.

As a professor, he presented multiple papers to various associations as well as published articles based on his original and repeated research trips to his Himalayan village of study in India.

He was a professor of anthropology at Northeastern University in Boston, Mass. and later at Kutztown University where he established the International Students' Club.

For years, he coached the women's softball club and had it elevated to a NCAA competing sport.

At his leisure, he loved the Boston sports teams, especially the Boston Red Sox, win or lose. He loved playing singles tennis, racquetball and coaching his son in soccer, baseball and basketball. His after hours quiet activity was listening to classic blues by B.B. King and, of course, his all-time favorite, Ray Charles.

He is survived by his wife; children, Lyla and her husband Neil Weinbaum and Carlton and his wife Kathleen; five grandchildren, Samantha, Dylan, Ashley, Chloe and Makenzie; brothers, Steven and Mark; nieces and nephews.
