In addition to his career, Paul was an adjunct professor in Computer Science at Mercer University, Macon, GA, and Athens State University, Athens, AL. Paul retired from NASA in 2000 and continued teaching at Athens State for a number of years. Following that he was a consultant to several tech companies.
Paul and Janice found a church home wherever they lived. Paul was ordained as deacon in 1966 at University Baptist Church, Huntsville, AL. He had a servant's heart at every church he belonged to. At First Baptist Church, Huntsville, Paul served as Sunday School director, church treasurer, on other committees and was a church council member. His greatest joy was as a Sunday School teacher. Bible study was a part of his daily life and he enjoyed sharing this each Sunday.
Paul's interests included cheering on the Crimson Tide, playing golf, Bible study, and enjoying his grandchildren whatever sport or activity they were involved in. For more that 10 years, Paul coached youth sports through the City of Huntsville Little League and the YMCA making a lasting impression on many young lives. Paul taught more than the fundamentals of each sport. Paul had a keen sense of humor and a broad smile which put people at ease and endeared him to everyone he met. He was a colorful storyteller with a contagious laugh.
Parents, Bennett Allison and Gladys Allison Russell; sister, Wanda Allison, and son, Daniel Paul Allison, preceded Paul in death.
Paul is survived by his loving wife of 65 years, Janice Sloan Allison; daughters, Robin Allison Collins (husband, Alan) and Delia Allison Copeland (husband, Pat); grandchildren, Ben, Matthew, and Laura Copeland. His nieces, nephews, extended family and many friends are left to cherish memories of him.
Visitation will be from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. Tuesday, December 20, 2022, at First Baptist Church Chapel. The funeral service will follow at 11:00 a.m. with Rev. Travis Collins officiating. Burial will be at 2:30 p.m. at Dailys Chapel Cemetery in Rosa, AL.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the First Baptist Church Mission Fund.
