1942 - October 8, 2024
With sorrow the Allen family announces the passing of Larry Douglas Allen on October 8, 2024 at the age of 81 years after a 11 year battle with multiple
myeloma. His stubborn determination to not let his illness define the last years of his life allowed his family and friends an extra decade of time with him
and memories to cherish.
Born in Prince George in 1942 to Harold and Dorothy Allen, Larry became a talented hockey player joining the Prince George Mohawks at the young age
of 14. After retiring from the Mohawks he enjoyed coaching minor hockey and was a big part of the Prince George Mohawk Oldtimers. Larry worked at Bel-court Motors, Shields Motors and Ken Mills Chev until 1970 when he and his wife Millie bought their first Dairy Queen at 20th & Victoria. Three Dairy
Queens later Larry sold the business to his son Gary and spent his winters golfing in Arizona and was a member of the Prince George Golf & Curling Club for
many years. Larry made many lifelong friends through hockey, golf and the Dairy Queen system.
Larry was predeceased by his parents, brothers Ted, Butch, Pat, Bob and Dick, and his former wife and friend Millie.
Larry is survived by his son Gary (Mary Lou}, daughter Gale (Stephen), five grandchildren, four great grandchildren, his sister Betty-Ann (Fred) and his dear friend Bea.
We wish to thank Dr. Kibonge who cared for Larry during the first years of his illness, and Dr. Saif who cared for him in his last years, both of whom were not
only his doctors but his dear friends. They provided the excellent care which extended his life well past expectations. We also wish to thank the Prince George Cancer Clinic for their care and compassion during Larry’s treatment.
There will be a Celebration of Life for Larry at a later date.
