Don Allor 1933-2009...


Donald Allor was born on July 2, 1933, and passed away on Sunday, July 26, 2009, due to complications from his brain cancer. He was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado and moved to California in 1948. He graduated from Central High School in 1951 then immediately served in the Naval Air during the Korean War until 1954. Don worked at various jobs for 45 years retiring from Mid Valley Distributors. He had many hobbies and passions throughout the years from photography, building model airplanes, trains and cars, genealogy, car clubs and square dancing.

******************************************

I knew Don for about 2 years and considered him part of the family. My heart breaks that my mom no longer has the love of her life with her, but I find comfort in knowing that the time they did have together was joyous beyond belief. I will miss Don so much. Thank you to all my friends who have sent their good thoughts, wishes and prayers to our family throughout Don's illness and since his passing. We appreciate it more than you will ever know.

Love,
Robyn
