A Facebook page and GoFundMe were made in support of Aller after he was hospitalized on Sept. 11 due to contracting COVID-19. His GoFundMe has raised $14,890 as of Monday.
Aller worked at the Ohio State Patrol Academy for 25 years after he finished college, and attended Victory Church in Tipp City, his obituary stated.
Aller was commander of the Springfield Post since January 2014, after working as an OSHP trooper for over 15 years. He began his law enforcement career as an officer with the St. Paris Police Department, then later was a deputy with the Champaign County Sheriff’s Office before applying for the State Highway Patrol. He was then at the OSHP Dayton post for five years, and worked as a sergeant at the Piqua post for 11 years before becoming Springfield’s post commander.
