IN LOVING MEMORY OF

Naegeli
May 8, 1932 – August 29, 2024
Obituary
Al was warm, upbeat, and always ready to share a smile. He was a lively and engaged grandfather, loving father, and devoted husband. Al's values were at the core of everything he did; his faith and common sense guided him in his life choices. Al was a visionary who sought out potential in people and identified opportunities for growth. In 1972, Al founded Electronic Systems of Wisconsin, which continues to provide innovative approaches to motor testing equipment under the leadership of his daughter, Linda, and his nephew, Tim Naegeli. Throughout his life, Al was passionate about problem solving and technology. Until his last weeks, Al continued to perfect the custom solar power system he developed and installed in the family home. Al traveled extensively throughout Europe (especially his beloved Switzerland), the Middle East, and Asia, broadening his perspective through the people he met along the way. Al had an uncanny ability to draw people out no matter their background or native tongue. He will be affectionately remembered for the humility, joy, and generosity he shared with those lucky enough to have crossed his path.
He will be deeply missed by his wife of 64 years, Joan Naegeli; his children Curtiss (Estela) Naegeli, Linda (Ray Koukari, Jr.) Naegeli, and Susan (Denis) Dugré; his grandchildren Sarah (Jake) Pederson, Amy Naegeli, Michelle (Brandon) Bruggeman, Ray (Alexis) Koukari, III, Kassia Koukari, Matthew Campbell, Jonathan Campbell, Louis Dugré, Alix Dugré, and Thomas Dugré; and his great-grandchildren Ronan Pederson, Audrey Koukari and Evan Koukari.
A celebration of life for Allan will be held on Sunday, September 29, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. at Purath-Strand Funeral Home. Relatives and friends may meet with the family from 1:00 p.m. until the time of service at the funeral home. In lieu of flowers, memorials to the Salvation Army of Racine (4901 Washington Avenue, Racine, WI 53406) or The Hospitality Center (614 Main Street, Racine, WI 53403) in Al's name would be welcomed.
