Roy P. Allison, Jr., 83, of Bellville, formerly of College Station, peacefully left this earth on Tuesday, June 23, 2015. He was born on August 3, 1931 in Kokomo, Indiana. Roy was preceded in death by his parents, Roy P. and Grace (Davidson) Allison, wife, Mildred, son, John David and brothers Perry and Morris Allison. He is survived by his daughter Janet Allphin and husband, Don, of Bellville; step-son, Mason Newton and wife, Doris, of College Station, step-daughter, Linda Hernandez and husband, Joe, of Bryan; Grandson, Daryl Allphin and wife, April, of Huntsville, Step-grandchildren: Richard Newton and wife, Dara, of Mansfield, Robert Newton and wife, Heather, of Dripping Springs, David Newton of Houston, Melisa Bouchard and husband, Bradley of Grand Prairie, Thomas Weller and wife, Donna, of Florida, and Eddie Weller of Bryan. Great-grandchildren: Connor and Callie Allphin, Step-greatgrandchildren: Nicholas Newton, Taylor Newton, Garrett Newton, Devin Newton, Carter Newton, Macie Newton, MacKenzie Newton, Tristan Newton, Hannah Weller and Hudson Weller; a sister-in-law Clara Winder of College Station, and several nieces and nephews. Roy spent most of his childhood in the Indiana Soldiers' and Sailors' Children's Home in Knightstown, Indiana. Upon graduation, he attended Ball State University with the intent of becoming a band director. Deciding that it wasn't for him, he chose to enlist in the Air Force and was soon sent to Texas. He soon wound up at Bryan Air Force Base, where he met "Millie" whom he married on May 5, 1956. Roy worked at Texas A & M University's Printing Center for over 30 years. After his retirement he spent many hours fishing at Riverside and going to garage sales with Millie. He was an avid reader, a professional photographer, and had a great love for music, particularly classical and jazz. After Millie died in 2003 and his health declined, Roy eventually moved to Bellville for his last eight years. The family wishes to publically thank all those who helped care for Roy in his infirm years: Josie, Bluebonnet House of College Station, Arbors of Briarwood and Colonial Belle Nursing Home of College Station, Dr. Don Bosse, the Compassionate Care Hospice and the many nurses and aides who sought to give him the best care possible. A graveside service was held at 10:00 a.m. on June 25, 2015 at College Station Cemetery. Schmidt Funeral Home of Bellville was in charge of the arrangements. Memorials may be made to any charity of your choice.
