Beverly ALLEN Obituary

Published by Saskatoon StarPhoenix from Mar. 19 to Mar. 22, 2013.
BEVERLY EDWIN ALLEN
Beverly was the first of four children born to his proud and loving parents Edwin and Leavon Allen in Regina, SK on March 3rd, 1951. Growing up in Simpson, SK, he became enamoured with the local apothecary and developed a fascination with the pharmaceutical profession at a young age. In his own words, "I am not sure if it was originally the enticement of the ice cream and treats at the soda fountain or the mystery about what went on in the back room where pharmacists concocted prescriptions written by the physicians for their patients. I was possessed with the idea of someday being able to understand more about this profession, its secrecy and the fact that although I was raised on a farm, I was encouraged to go to university and get a degree."
Bev entered the College of Pharmacy at the University of Saskatchewan in 1969, during which time he met the love of his life, Pat Moffat whom he later married in the summer of 1971. Bev finished his degree in 1973, and took work in community pharmacies until he opened his own business in 1977. By 1982, Bev and Pat's family had grown to 6, with the additions of Jodi, Jennifer, Charlie and John. In the years to follow, the Allen family would partake in many adventures together including countless hours traveling in Suburbans, listening to music and discovering the world. Gradually, family activities migrated to their future home, a lakefront property at Fishing Lake, where they shared many more wonderful memories.
As it was with his profession, Bev's life work was centered around the chance to give something back. Over the years he was involved in the recreation and home and school associations, various hockey and soccer teams, and many other community based activities, including a few infamous College Park block parties.
In 1992, Allen Drugs closed its doors and soon after an opportunity presented itself for Bev to share his passion and knowledge of his profession by taking on an Assistant Professor position at the U of S. Bev was the clinical coordinator of the Structured Practice Experiences Program and instrumental in its success. He found it extremely rewarding to work with the students. Bev's work was a labour of love and he was involved in and took presidency of both provincial and national pharmacist associations. His professional accolades were many, including a Pillar of Pharmacy award in 2010 for life-long commitment and contribution to the profession of pharmacy in Canada. Just recently, he was extremely touched to learn that he will receive an Honorary Life Membership Award from the Canadian Pharmacists Association.
Bev's greatest joy was his growing family and his role as "Poppa". Together Poppa and his little ones enjoyed movies, popcorn, music, the lake and time just spent being together. Music played a significant role in Bev's life. He played numerous instruments, sang, and was famous for playing along with his favorite songs by ear on the piano. Most importantly his passion for music has been handed down to his family. Bev's presence in both his personal and professional life will be felt forever.
Bev's legacy is cherished by his family; his wife Pat, daughters Jodi and Jennifer (James), sons Chuck (Jennifer) and John (Meghan), precious grandchildren Jaedyn, Bree, Jenna, Michaela, and Kelan, his father Edwin, sisters Yvette (George), Brenda (Merle), Drena (Terry), sister-in-law Jean (Dennis) and his many special nieces and nephews. Bev's many friends were equally important.
Bev's strength and courage were a constant in his life, most significantly in his battle with his illness. His positive outlook and determination was inspirational to all those around him. He refused to allow his illness to define him and his final moments were peaceful, with his wife and children by his side. His family would like to extend their sincere thanks to Dr. Goubran, Dr. Sabry, and to the many nurses and professionals who cared for him. In particular, special thanks to the chemotherapy nurses, the nurses in ODC, and the palliative care nurses. Words cannot express how invaluable the support of family and friends has and will continue to be.
A service of celebration will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 23rd at the Saskatoon Inn (2002 Airport Drive). Donations in Bev's memory can be made in his name to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon (3rd Floor 103 Hospital Drive Saskatoon, S7N 0W8). Arrangements in care of John Schachtel - MOURNING GLORY FUNERAL SERVICES (306-978-5200). www.mourningglory.ca.

don't know where, don't know when,
but I know we'll meet again".

Pat and family,
We were so sorry to hear of Bev's passing. We had so many wonderful times when the boy's played hockey together. Our favorite story is when we took our young team on the road to play out of town and Bev started the game by singing the national anthem. The boy's thought they had made the big time! His large personality and sense of humor was certainly a gift to all. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I was very blessed to have Bev as a professor when he first started at U of S. He was always so full of joy and encouragement and he was one of my favorite people. He had a profound impact on our profession and on my life through University. I can only imagine what a wonderful father & husband he was too. Please know he was loved and appreciated. My sympathies go out to his family.

Our deepest sympathies to Pat and family.
It has been a privilege for us to have known Bev and spend some very good times with him in hockey rinks, on soccer fields and at get togethers. We are thankful that our paths crossed one last time, a few months ago, at one of the
boys' hockey game.
Bev, you'll will always be remembered!

I find this very hard to read and believe. Having worked with Bev for 25+ years at the golf course, assisting with his brilliant organizational skills and attention to detail as fundraising and sponsorship each year proved to be more successful for the College of Pharmacy and Nutrition golf tournament. Bev was always go gracious, thanking us for making his job organizing the tournament that much easier, when in fact it was always Bev that made our jobs that much easier. It was from this relationship we were able to call each other friends, friends that appreciated and respected each other's tasks and accomplishments. I will always remember a phone call last summer how he described his lakefront cabin, the view and how peaceful and serene it was. Now my friend, it is even more peaceful for you, and the view of life more beautiful for every person that had the distinct pleasure to know you.

Dearest Pat and Family, Shirley and I are so sad to hear of your loss. While we will still be out of country for the funeral, you know we are thinking of you.

We are sure that the wonderful memories will always be in your heart and your garden full of butterflies, in particular there will always be one that is special. Thinking of you at this time, Bill and Shirley Paterson, Palm Springs

Bev and I always competed for first place in our class! And we lived in the same house during our first year of university.

I had the great honor of working for Bev from 1984 to 1989 at Action Drugs in Massey Place,my first job, and he took the chance to hire me at 15 yrs of age. He was a wonderful boss, a mentor and a friend.Over the years, there were many stories told about the big man behind the counter, but he was a teddy bear with a HUGE heart. He will be remembered and missed.My thoughts are with you and your family.

I know that Chuck gets his attention to detail and his weird parking strategies from his dad. Chuck and I went to Home Depot to pick up some lumber and Chuck parked his truck in the farthest stall he possibly could with no other cars around. I thought he was crazy and the long walk back with the lumber confirmed it! He told me his dad was totally focused on keeping his vehicles clean and maintained.

I look at my car all filthy and the floor strewn with to go coffee cups and I think about the values that Chuck's dad taught him about taking care of things. It makes me feel the loss for Chuck and his family all the more.

My thoughts are with you all in this sad time. I am going to go clean out that car.

Hi Pat,to you and all of the family my deepest sympathy.

Bev was a wonderful individual, a great friend, and the life of every party we ever attended together. I know he will be deeply missed by you and all of the family but also by all his friends right across this country and especially by all of us from the class of '73.
