Robert C. Allison Jr.

Robert C. Allison, Jr. passed away at the age of 67 on the night of Dec. 18 in Memphis, Tenn. He is reunited with his parents, Robert and Gertrude Allison and his brother, Walter Ed Allison. He is survived by his sons, Porter and Blake Allison; his daughters, Lindsey and Kristen Allison; and his ex wife, Gina Jacuzzi. Bobby was an incredibly loving father, mentor and motivator with a infectious personality, a twinkle in his eye and a playful grin that could light up a room. He used his talents and became a second team all-state high school quarterback recently honored by his fellow teammates at a reunion to celebrate the '64 11-0 Conway Wampus Cats. He was a 1970 graduate of the University of Central Arkansas and a member of the United States Air Force National Guard. He was proud to serve as an Administrative Assistant to United States Senator John L. McClennan. Bobby had a long and esteemed career in the investment banking industry in the cities of Fayetteville, Ark., Little Rock, Ark., and Memphis, Tenn. He was Vice President and Branch Manager for Merrill Lynch, Senior Vice President and Branch Manager for E.F. Hutton, President and Member of the Board of Directors for Allison, Rosenblum and Hannahs, President/Owner of Allison Consulting Group Incorporated and President of Gavion. He had great passion for golf, a good scotch, a cold Budweiser and a medium rare steak. His most precious assets were his children and the time he spent with them was the most significant moments of his life. He will forever be remembered as "Big Ole Bobby" and be the guardian angel over all those he loved so much. The family will receive friends from 12 p.m. until the celebration of his life service will begin at 1 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 23, 2014 at Memorial Park Funeral Home.
