Mr. Allshouse will truly be missed. He made a lasting impact and had a special way of making every one of his students feel important. Everybody thought they were his favorite student. He truly invested in teaching. I´m so blessed to have had the opportunity to know him and learn from him. My deepest sympathies to his family.
