Hugh Allison Obituary
San Angelo
Hugh Pascal Allison II, 74, passed away at his home in San Angelo, Texas on Nov. 27, 2015, surrounded by loving family members. He was born on April 2, 1941 in San Angelo. The first born to Lea Pascal and Helen Claire Berry Allison, also a descendant of George Sutton and Margaret Thornhill Allison who settled their homestead ranch in Sutton County in 1885.
Pascal graduated from the Texas Military Institute in San Antonio, Texas and attended the University of Texas in Austin. A gentleman honoring his ranch heritage, Pascal spent his entire life ranching in Sutton, Pecos and Concho County. He also enjoyed a successful career in real estate sales with Guy Chipman in San Antonio. Too late in his life, as he often said, he found his third career in medical services as a member and instructor of Sutton County EMS. He took immense pride in the students he was instrumental in certifying in Emergency Services and took gratification in following their progress.
Pascal married Dorothy Jean Ryon in 1967 and they were happily married for 47 years residing in San Angelo, Ballinger, San Antonio and Sonora.
Pascal was a member of the Texas Sheep and Goat Raisers Association and a member/past President of the Sutton County Game Dinner Association. He was well known all over Sutton County for his green thumb and his beautiful greenhouse grown orchids and bougainvilleas. A man of sharp wit, Pascal always had a story to tell and a joke to share, he had us smiling to the end. Pascal taught us about dying, but most importantly about living life to the fullest. His brief and courageous battle with cancer was hard fought and he succumbed with dignity. He died as he lived, a gentleman.
Pascal was preceded in death by his parents, Lea and Helen Claire Allison and wife Dorothy Jean Allison.
Pascal is survived by his son Scott Allison and fianc?e Claire Drain, daughter Sabrina and husband Ryan Haecker, all of San Angelo, sister Susan and husband Buck Bloodworth of Sonora, sister Sarah and husband Robert Post of San Angelo, his grandchildren Fallon Allison, Elisha "Cinco" H. Howard IV, Henry Pascal Howard all of San Angelo and Nia Allison of Burnet, Texas, his nieces Rachel Randall of Hollis, Oklahoma, Allison Bright and Ashley Snook both of San Angelo.
Visitation will be held from 5 p.m. - 7 p.m. Monday at Johnson's Funeral Home. Memorial Service will be at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 1 in Johnson's Funeral Home Chapel in San Angelo, with graveside service at 12:30 p.m. in the Cemetery of Sonora. Officiating will be the Reverend Monte Jones, aka. Biscuits O'Bryan. Pallbearers are Donald Allison, Robert Allison, Elisha H. Howard IV, Johnny McClelland, Harold "Corky" Schwiening, Johnny Semlinger and Rod Stephen.

Susan : Sorry I could not make the funeral. I remember Packie always treated me different when I was a kid. He made me feel special and I always looked up to him. His laugh was unique and that smile was always accompanied with a certain twinkle in his eyes. My Dad would be sad today if he was still around. He was one of his biggest fans. We will all miss him and my prayers go out to you and all of his family.

My cousin Packie was a fixture in my childhood. I looked up to him and enjoyed time spent in his company. I will miss his humor and his smile that I could hear in his voice and even in his Facebook conversations. I give thanks for your life and the gifts you have left behind.

Pascal was a gentleman that taught me how to respect myself with his advice and his willingness to listen. He was a true friend in every sense of the word. He never passed judgment just offered his shoulder to cry on and an ear to hear you out. I will miss you my friend. I will remember the stories of the coyotes, the kids, the alpacas and Laurencio. My sincere condolences to your family Pascal. I want them to know you were a kind gentleman that left only good memories.

I will miss you my precious cousin. What a blessing we re-connected, beginning with 5 AM lengthy chats on instant messaging nearly 10 years ago. Your passing will be such a big loss for all of us, but you will once again meet with your beloved Dorothy. Until we meet again. Clara Margaret

Mr. Allison, I only knew your for a few weeks, but I must admit you always brought sunshine to my shift. You always had an encouraging word for whoever walked through your door no matter how you felt. You even allowed me to interrupt you when you were listening to a very important football game that your grandson was playing. You will be greatly missed. Until we meet again. God Bless your soul. May God bring comfort to your family in this time of sorrow.
