Allen LeRoy Harmon

Allen L. Harmon, 94, passed away peacefully at his home on Saturday, April 24, 2021, following a period of declining health. He was born January 19, 1927, in Newkirk, OK, to Roy and Ida Harmon.

He returned home and worked at Eastman Kodak for the next 38 years as a senior chemist in research. Allen was devoted to his family and known for his kindness to others. He enjoyed working on wood projects, yardwork, cooking, traveling, and watching western movies- especially those with John Wayne. He was a huge sports fan and enjoyed watching all UT men and women sporting events.
