Joe N. Allison

Joe was a graduate of Exeter High School in 1960 and soon thereafter, he and his bride moved to Kansas City for Joe to begin his career with Hallmark Cards, where he retired after 36 years. He coached numerous soccer teams before moving to his farm in Chilhowee, Missouri to raise cattle and grandsons who spent a lot of time with him. He was a member of Longview Baptist Church, where he had many friends he called family. After retirement, he went every year with Carpenters for Christ helping to build churches. He loved to hunt and
watch Missouri Tiger Basketball, KC Chiefs,
KC Royals and Sporting KC.

He was preceded in death by his parents, twin sister Janice and sister Celia.

He is also survived by his sister, Ruth Allison of Cassville, MO and niece Rhonda Stafford, also of Cassville. Special friends Jim and Debbie Whitaker, Billy and Jamyi, Bobby and Brianna and four little red heads that called him Grandpa, Logan, Aaron, Addison and Katie Pennington.

    We Sure Love All the Allison’s and their families. You can’t get better PEOPLE in this world then Jo and Joe! They are FAMILY. They have our hearts and our hearts are heavy and very sad. No one will ever replace Joe in our hearts. He will be missed every day. His whit was always so AWESOME when we got together and he always joined in to let everyone know they were instantly welcome. The RED HEADS love him and will miss his smiling face. And the stories will be so missed. He is in Gods Hands now and cracking jokes there too and putting a smile on all the angels faces. We look forward to the next time we can give him a huge Hug. In the mean time we will just hug Jo twice as hard! See you on the other side Joe!

    Our prayers are with you and your family Jo. Joe was such a great friend and person I loved going on Carpenter for Christ trips together and talking Missouri basketball. He will be missed but he’s in a much better place, no more pain. Talking about the Tigers with our Lord! Love you Jo! Mike and Kathy
