Don Allison Obituary

ALLISON, Don 77, of Largo, died May 12th, 2011, following a courageous battle with cancer. Mr. Allison was born on June 6, 1933, in Springfield, OH. He served as a corporal in the U.S. Army during the Korean War until 1955. More than anything, Don loved his wife of over 55 years, Patti. They spent many memorable years together, enjoying their family, the beach, and traveling the world. Don's second love was sports. For the past 15 years he served as a certified member of the ASA National Umpire's Association as well as a high school fast pitch softball tournament umpire across the state of Florida. Don is survived by his wife Patricia; daughters Kim Silva and Kristi Allison; grandchildren, Allison Silva, Amberlie Silva, Seth Allison and Thomas Freeman. A special thanks to Dr. Ranjan Mahajan and his staff for their dedication and compassion during Don's lifetime. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Suncoast Hospice Foundation 5771 Roosevelt Blvd, Clearwater, FL 33760.

My heart goes out to Patti and her family. He was a very special person, always up beat and considerate of others. He made a great impression on me, and I have a lot of memories of helping them with their travel.
