SHORE
ALLEN M., December 10, 1927 - August 31, 2015. Born in Logan, North Philadelphia, the youngest of a poor family of six, Allen attended Central High School and upon graduation, served in World War II as an army sergeant and served in Europe. Upon his return, he successfully matriculated and graduated from the Wharton School of Business of Pennsylvania with a business degree. He served many years as an electronics salesman, later becoming a successful entrepreneur, including real estate, children's camps and other businesses. His true love was acting and Broadway musicals. He performed with the Stage Crafters in Chestnut Hill and then became a successful Broadway producer, producing Driving Miss Daisy, Forever Plaid, Honky Tonk Nights and Sugar Babies. He was twice honored by the William Portner Lodge of B'nai B'rith as "Man of the Year" once for his efforts on behalf of the lodge's national youth services division.
A true renaissance man, he is survived by his six grand-children and three children that he loved. He met his wife, Joan Shore, and had an amazing union for over 53 years until she passed in 2007. Graveside Services Friday 10:30 A.M. precisely at Shalom Memorial Park, Huntingdon Valley. Donations may be made to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, 125 S. 9th St., Ste 202, Phila., Pa., 19107.
