Albert “Murphy” Allison, Jr., passed away on October 12, 2022. He was preceded in death by his parents, Dr. Albert Murphy Allison and Constance (Lynn) Allison, and his brother, Mike Allison. Murphy was born on September 5, 1940, in Alice, Texas. He graduated from William Adams High School where he played football. He was a member of the First United Methodist Church and an Eagle Scout. Murphy earned a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and a master’s degree in Engineering from Texas Technological College (now, Texas Tech University) where he was a proud member of Phi Delta Theta Fraternity. Murphy returned to Alice and worked for Ed Nixon at Nixon Central Construction Co. which he later owned with his business partner, Pete Winston. He also served on the Alice City Council. Murphy enjoyed his years in Lubbock and his Phi Delta brothers whom he was especially happy to see in recent years. He also had fond memories of many camping trips to Big Bend with the Boy Scouts. Murphy was fortunate to have had excellent care provided by Lupe and Jesse Fuentes of Corpus Christi and appreciated their compassion and humor. His family is eternally grateful to them for being with him at the ranch the last few weeks. Murphy is survived by his brother and sister-in-law, Drs. Jim Allison and Pam Sharma of Houston and Jim’s son, Robert Allison of Austin, Texas; his son and daughter-in-law, Bryan and Chantel Allison of Orange Grove, Texas and their daughters, Haley Allison of Midland, Texas and Hannah Allison of Orange Grove, Texas; and his daughter, Constance Allison of San Antonio.
