Mr. Eddie Allison

Mr. Eddie Allison, 55, of Windsor, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, March 4, 2023. Born in Tulsa, OK on May 29, 1967, the son of the late Herbert and Mary Turpin Allison, he graduated from Nathan Hale High School and recently earned his degree in Electrical Engineering from MCLA. Eddie was a veteran and he proudly served in the United States Navy for 25 years, from 1985 until 2010. He retired honorably as a Senior Chief Petty Officer. Eddie was currently employed by General Dynamics, where he worked in their Mission Systems department. It was there he had dedicated 10 years of illustriously humble service. Among many things, he enjoyed helping others, old westerns, cars, strategy games of all kinds, smoking meats, awful jokes, and his incredible, yet humble, wife. Eddie is survived by his beloved wife of 34 years, the former Loretta Starks, whom he married on the 16th of July 1989. He leaves his children Danielle, Scott, and Greg Allison, his daughter in law Mandy and his grandchildren Aiden and Eiley Allison. Eddie is also survived by his sister Leah Turpin, his nieces Hannah, Bethany, and Jubilee Allison and Tara Walck, as well as his nephews Steven, and Joseph Allison and Jeremy and Jesse Walck. Additionally, he leaves his sisters-in-law, Terri Wilson and Kim Allison. He was preceded in death by his nephew Timothy Allison, brother Herbert Allison, and sister Lisa Allison. Eddie said it best when singing the words of a Mac Davis tune: “To know me is to love me, I must be a hell of a man. Oh, Lord, it’s hard to be humble, But I’m doing the best that I can.” While Eddie will be sorely missed, he will never be forgotten, as his memory (and dad jokes) will continually live on by all those who were blessed to have known him. Eddie truly was one “hell of a man” Funeral Notice: Funeral services with full military honors for Mr. Eddie Allison will be Saturday, March 11, 2023, at 12 noon at the Dwyer Funeral Home, 776 North Street, Pittsfield MA 01201.
