I worked with Mr Knopf at Lord & Taylor in Plano in the early 80s, and enjoyed the experience. I ran into him years later at Neiman's and was happy to see he hadn't changed a bit.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Dear Florence,
I had been thinking of Allan today. He was a wonderful person and a great Managing Director at Lord and Taylor.
When we opened the Plano store, we had many years of success and many laughs. I remember when you and he where in Boston and we had a chance to visit.
I will always treasure his memory.
My prayers are with you all of you
