"Harry Dimond, Druggist for 63 year, Dies
Known as Dean of His Profession in State
Buffalo's most colorful pharmacist, Harry J. Dimond, 85, a druggist for more than 63 years, died yesterday at his home, 330 Connecticut Street.
Mr. Dimond, who was known as the dean of New York State pharmacists, closed his store in Connecticut Street on Saturday and gave instructions for his funeral to his son, Joseph H. Dimond. He fell into a coma Sunday morning.
Old School Practitioner
The Dimond store, his joy and pride, might have stepped, just as it was at the closing, from the mists of the pasts. The proprietor would have nothing to do with latter day vending contrivances in a store that was meant for a pharmacy.
He was strictly a pharmacists of the old school and his store was direct reflection of his personality.
He would have nothing to do with so-called improvements, probably because over the shelves of bottles, the show cases filled with medicines and soaps and simple cosmetics, hovered a spirit of friendliness and neighborliness which the proprietor had developed and which no modern furnishings supplied.
Served Four Generations
In the back of his store, where supplies of chemicals were kept, hung rows of prescriptions, filed on long wires. These represented the joys and sorrows of four generations of customers.
Although the neighborhood in which the veteran druggist had practiced had changed, although most of the old settlers had moved away and new ones taken their places, Dimond, the neighborhood pharmacists, found time to help and advice all comers.
"I believe in live and help live," he used to say, and his reputation bore strictly to this policy. People brought their wills to him for safekeeping, they came to him with their domestic problems and with the trials and difficulties of their lives.
In 1938 he was awarded the Gregory Memorial Medal at the University of Buffalo for his services to the pharmacy. He was president of the Veteran's Drug Association and a life member of the Greater Buffalo drug Club.
...Funeral services will be held Sunday at 3:30 p.m. at 429 Fargo Avenue at the home of his son, Joseph, his only survivor. Burial will be in the Forest Lawn Cemetery."
