[Histonet] FW: RIP Russ Allison

[Morken, Tim]

I'm sorry to hear that. I met Russ several times at NSH over the years and had several email correspondences with him. He was always helpful and a great guy.

Subject: [Histonet] FW: RIP Russ Allison

 

Vintage histonetters will remember the valuable contributions to our body of
knowledge made by Russ Allison.  I was saddened to hear of his recent
passing after a seven year battle with Alzheimers.  I'll not presume to
eulogize him, there are many who knew him better and longer, suffice it to
say you would have to go a long way to find a kinder, more helpful man with
as great a passion for laboratory science, scientific education and Welsh
rugby.  On his annual trips to the US to present workshops at NSH meetings
he would always find time for a pint or two and spirited discussion about
the progress of the profession on both sides of the pond.    The following
is the URL of an obituary of Russ by the current chief executive if the
Institute of Biomedical Scientists.

I'm off to the beer aisle so I can lift a Brains in his honour tonight.
Cheers, Russ and farewell.
