Allen was the go to guy in the furniture business. My parents started buying from him at Braslau's in the early fifties. My wife and I bought a house full of furniture from him in 1970 when we got married. They delivered the furniture to Austin! A great gentleman that will be missed by all who knew him. RIP Mr. Lebowitz!
