I am just now learning of Dr. Allison's passing and am so sorry for your loss.  He delivered all 4 of my children; Brad, 51; Jeromy, 49 1/2; Heather, 48; and Jared, 40.  He must have been in practice only a short time when I first met him.  We lived in Cookeville when Jeromy was due, but I came back to Dr. Allison for all of my visits and delivery.  He performed surgery on my sister, Gwen, who came from WV on my recommendation.  I still have the prescription slip he wrote on when I asked for my blood type.  I've carried it with me ever since.  He is not forgotten.
