Wright & Ferguson Funeral Home on High Street is in charge of arrangements. Mr. Allen was born December 22, 1933. He graduated high school from Columbia Military Academy and then went on to Mississippi College and the University of Mississippi where he earned a business degree. After graduation he served in the Army G-2 Intelligence. He had always had an interest in art and in 1965 he opened Bryant Galleries in Jackson, Mississippi. A year later he opened a New Orleans gallery in the French Quarter. During this time he also served as Education Director for the Art Association of Jackson. He would give slide presentations at the Municipal Gallery and give talks at schools. Bryant grew his gallery business by traveling throughout the country and around the world in search of fine artists that he could introduce to collectors in Mississippi and to visitors to New Orleans. Over the years, he and his wife and co-owner, Doris Allen, traveled to such countries as France, Germany, Spain, Hungary, Italy, Haiti, Mexico and Canada. Bryant's desire to discover new talent led him to artists as far away as Buenos Aires and Ukraine. At one time, there were five Bryant Galleries' locations: Jackson, New Orleans, Birmingham, Atlanta and Palm Beach. Other locations were Houston and Dallas, Texas. Among the many artists who began their career with Bryant Galleries were Wyatt Waters, William Dunlap, George Thurmond, Rolland Golden and Donny Finley. Bryant had also represented such national and internationally noted artists as Alvar, Dean Mitchell, Leonardo Nierman, Alan Flattmann, Juan Medina, Ed Dwight and many others. The New Orleans gallery he built is now the oldest and largest gallery in New Orleans and continues in operation in the historic French Quarter. Bryant loved animals and over the years he had a series of Bassett Hounds. Jackson residents knew Bryant for years as the man who drove to work with a blue and gold Macaw on his shoulder. Seymour, the Macaw, was a beloved pet to the Allens for 28 years. Seymour passed away late last year. The Aliens made many trips to the LSU Veterinary School trying to save their beloved pet. When not searching for new artists, Mr. Allen was an avid Ole Miss football fan. His other passion included cooking. Mr .Allen is survived by his wife, Doris Allen and two sisters, Ros Haertlein of Fredricksburg, Texas and Jeane Ferrin of Austin, Texas. Also nephew Albert Haertlein and nieces Alma Hartlein, Deeny Hartlein, Flavia Ferrin Gaskin, Beth Ferrin Williams and great nephews Michael and Bryant Haertlein, who worked for a time at the Bryant Galleries of New Orleans.

The pallbearers will be Howard Stover, Tom Grantham, Drew Sampson, George Lewis, Eddie Guillot and David Lambert. Honorary pallbearers are George Thurmond, Alan Flattmann, Ed Dwight, Dean Mitchell, Dr. Dan Woodliff and Dr. Bobby Graham. Memorials in Bryant's name can be made to the charity of one's choice.

Times Picayune 02- 19-2006 **************************************** 000673 Parker - Donald Vincent Parker, Sr., peacefully passed away Friday, February 17, 2006 at a hospital in Houston, Texas. He faced many challenges during Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath though he found strength in the fact that his immediate family members survived the tragedy. He was born in Napoleonville, Louisiana on March 16, 1923, the sixth of 10 children to the late Mammie and Irving Parker, Sr. While still a young boy, the family moved to New Orleans, LA, where over the years he inherited a strong work ethic, rich history of music, entrepreneurship, and unimpeachable respect for others. From his early years, he was keenly aware of his father's numerous business ventures and community activities and they served as a springboard to his future endeavors. He observed with great pride the legendary 'Parker All Stars' baseball team in the 1940s; the peanut business where his father baked and packaged peanuts from their home and sold them for a nickel a bag on busy St. Claude Street and other areas of the city; and the small Parker-owned 'presser shop' located on the corner of Charbonnet and Roman in the mid-1950s, which he subsequently managed, including delivery and pick-up service. This would later become the site of the family home. He was later employed at the Chalmette Kaiser Aluminum Company where he worked for over twenty-five years. Those years, working in Kaiser's 'pot room,' rather than as a welder, for which he was trained, were challenging. A pioneer in his time, he joined his young brother-in-law, John Coleman and other young workers in a legal effort to compel Kaiser to reverse the trend of discrimination against employees based on race and to compensate black workers who had been denied skilled positions. This landmark class action suit was won in 1980. A lover of music, he cherished the weekend family rituals at his parent's very large home where everyone gathered to informally dine and listen and dance to the records of the great artists of New Orleans and even the live sounds of neighborhood legend Fats Domino and Buddy Hagan. Indicative of his passion for music, when Nat King Cole died in 1965, he and his brothers gathered up their 78 and 45 records and came together to listen to and talk about the 'smooth crooner' who was the first African American to host his own TV show. The rest is history -- over the years, and up until several days before his passing, he would enjoy the grand music of artists he loved and for whom he had great passion including Big Joe Turner, Ella Fitzgerald, Brooke Benton, Ivory Joe Hunter, Sam Cooke, Billy Eckstein and especially Frank Sinatra. Donald V. Parker, Sr. was united in holy matrimony in 1944 to Eunice Ruby Green, who passed away in March of 1982. From this union, he was blessed with 7 daughters and 4 sons: Marilyn Gwendolyn Brumfield, Jackie 'Bobbie' Parker, Donald V. Parker, Sr., Arthur Parker, Patricia Vincent, Gerald Parker, Jr. (deceased), Oscar Parker, Jeanne Parker, Cynthia Parker, Denise Thompson and Juanda Parker. He was preceded in death by his parents, Mammie and Irving Parker, Sr.; three sisters: Genieva Honeycutt, Hazel Howard and Geraldine Coleman; four brothers: Earl Parker, Sr., Foley Parker, Sr., Warren Parker, Sr. and Irving Parker, Jr.; a son, Gerald Parker, Sr.; and his first wife, Eunice Green. He leaves to cherish his memory, his ten surviving children, 21 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, 1 great-grandchild; two sisters: Brunetta Francisco and Shirley Martinez; one brother, Albert Parker; his second wife, Irmadale A. Parker; her four children: Barbara Williams, Donald Franklin, Rudolph Frankin and John Franklin; and her brothers: Willie Helmstetter and Lee Helmstetter. He also leaves to cherish his memory a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives and friends.
