Howard L. Allgood, 84, died May 26, 2009.

Mr. Allgood was born in Akron and lived his life in the Akron-Tallmadge area. He owned and operated Allgood Realty for more than 50 years and was a licensed real estate appraiser. In 1974, he served as president of the Akron Area Board of Realtors.

He was a member of the East High School and University of Akron Hall of Fame for track, as well as being a member of Mogadore VFW Post 8487.

According to Mr. Allgood's family, his only request was that he have a Manhattan with cherry juice on the rocks, which he was able to enjoy; while his only regret was that he never made a hole in one on the golf course.
