ALLISON

PAUL R. ALLISON, born to Gilbert and Jewel (West) Allison on June 9, 1925, 
went to his Heavenly Home on July 21, 2004 after a long and courageous battle 
against diabetes, emphysema, and asbestosis. 

P.R. served in the Navy in WWII, then returned to his studies at A&M, 
graduating with the Class of '46. His engineering degree served him well 
through his 42 years with various businesses. He retired in 1990 as President 
of Houston Fuel Oil. His interests then ran to cockatiels and their breeding.
He owned and operated A&A Aviary until his health failed him. 

Paul Ray is survived by his beloved wife of 55 years, Peggy; daughters: Cheryl
Cunningham and Susan Rankin and husband Rick; grandchildren: Aron Haire, Seth
and Taylor Rankin; sisters: Charlsie Brown and Clara Mayfield and husband 
Fred; 2 nieces as well as numerous friends and relatives. Mr. Allison is
preceded in death by his son, Paul Jr.
