We are very sorry for your loss. Mr Poore was a wonderful man. He was very smart and the only guy I would trust to help me in my dental office. He had the best pins and would always give his pen to me when I would sign his paper work. Bless his heart he will be missed greatly.I am truly sorry.

Very sorry to hear of Allens passing. We just heard about it yesterday. Was a very kind man and will be missed by his children. Daughters of Maude Poore Van de Riet: Billie Dove Van de Riet Merritt, Betty Lou Van de Riet Baecher, Margaret Van de Riet, and Virginia Van de Riet Gardner. We all remember him growing up on the farm with his grandfather and the wood cook stove next to the electric cook stove.

We will miss your sweet Father so much. He was always so kind to my staff and I. He knew how to fix anything that went wrong in our dental office! He always had a kind word to say to everyone. May God Bless him and your entire family.
