He was so fun, teaching those little boys (mine) how to enjoy everything and every moment...the drug store..the two of you moving heaven and earth to make sure my little family had the meds that we needed...
Dorothy, I will never ever forget the love story that you shared with me when you and Harry returned from Hawaii! Thank you, for the wisdoms, love, caring...lessons that I still teach and practice daily. All these memories!
My prayers and love

I knew Harry from Downey Idaho. He was a wonderful man, scout leader, and good father of good friend of mine Corey. He always was one of my favorites growing up in Downey. He always had a quite reserved intelligence i admired. My condolences to his family.

When I lived in Virginia, years ago, and went into the drug store at Downey it was always nice to see Harry and Dorothy. He always had a smile for me and took time to visit for a few minutes. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

I am so sorry to hear about Harry's passing. I have more memories than time that I could recount of working with him from the doctor's office and having a lifetime of prescriptions filled at the drugstore. So many nice people worked there. He was kind and patient and funny. They ran a nice store and they could always be depended on to have lovely gifts as well. It was one of the hubs of Downey and I could count on going in there to see friends and have a good visit. I also sang in the Madrigal Choir for many years and Harry sang when the men joined us. My love to all of you. I wish that I could be with you but arranging to get over to Wyo tomorrow or Thursday will be tough. I wish it could have been in Downey but I am selfish.

My thoughts and prayers are with the dear Allsop family as they are mourning the loss of Harry. He was like another Grandpa to me and I will cherish the times I spent over at the Allsop home growing up with Michelle. I love you guys. Thanks for being a second family to me. I always knew I could call Harry and Dorothy Grandpa and Grandma and David and Brynne Dad and Mom. Time will heal the pain we're all feeling. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I love you!
