Oscar Grat Allison, 85, of Powhatan, widower and soul mate of Dorothy Mary Lovett, passed away July 30, 2011.

He is survived by one daughter and her husband, Susan Allison and Ronald Frazier; nieces, Diana Cauldwell and Lucille Allison; nephews, Joe and William Chrisley, Peter and Colin Lovett; special caretaker, Mildred Yarbrough; and many friends who cared.
Mr. Allison was a great traveler and one that glued far flung family members together.

He traveled coast to coast 22 times and visited many foreign countries. Sargeant Oscar Allison was a proud member of the U.S. Air Force and retired after 22 years of service.
The family would like to thank Powhatan Rescue Squad for all of their help and care.

Mr. Allison will be greatly missed.

A service will be held at a later date in Wythe County, Va.
