Married twice, Ronald Criss Allison was a resident of the State of Texas. He had lived in Irving, Dripping Springs, and Austin, Texas, as well as in Norman Oklahoma. Ronald Allison was married first to Mary Melinda (Ballard) Allison (1958 - 2013) on August 14th, 1994 and they had a son, Reese Colton Allison. Melinda Ballard was a businesswoman and activist for insurance policy holders who in 1999, five years after the couple was married, sued her insurer over mold damage in their mansion in Dripping Springs Texas. Their son Reese, who was three years old at the time of his exposure, developed a respiratory condition in March of 1999, and Ronald shortly afterwards began to show signs of Alzheimer's disease. On April 1st, while Melinda was flying on Southwest Airlines, she became violently ill and began coughing up blood. Thanks to the questions of an air-quality expert named Bill Holder, who was sitting next to her on the flight, she began to suspect that her house was the culprit of the family's unexplained and sudden illnesses. Ronald and Melinda's lawsuit was settled in 2001 against Farmers Insurance with an award of $32 million. It was later reduced and settled for a confidential sum of money. Circa 2004, Melinda founded the Policyholders of America, to help homeowners battle insurance companies. Even the famous Erin Brockovich, who faced the same mold issues, is now fighting the same foe. See Mold case impact outlives house where crisis began for an account of Erin's fight, as well as the travails of Ronald, Melinda, and others. Unfortunately, due to the stress of the situation Ronald and Melinda divorced on December 4, 2003. He then married Michele L. Harle on May 28, 2010, to whom he was married when he died. You can read a long and complete article about the Allison family and the effects of toxic mold at “Mold Lurking Choking Toxic”. The article appeared in the New York Times and carries the date of February 20, 2013, although it seems to have been written much earlier. But the interview with Ronald Allison that appears near the end of the article is interesting, as also upsetting, since his mental status seems to have been greatly diminished.

Knollis Roy Allison was born in Kingston, Jamaica on 29 March 1959 to the proud parents of Salma Williams and Wilbert William Allison. He was the second child of the six children they would have together. Knollis grew up in Burnt Savannah; reared by his grandparents, Charles and Ethel Williams, in the Parish of Westmoreland and attended Mount Grace High School before returning to Kingston as a teenager to live with his father at 13 Campbell Street; and where he apprenticed as a welder. In 1979, at the age of 20, Knollis migrated to the United States and began his career as a welding contractor. Eager to increase his knowledge of general contracting, Knollis learned plumbing from his brother Hugh Allison. In 1982 Knollis married Shirley Rogers and became the proud father of daughter Annie Shirley Allison. Shortly after, this marriage dissolved. And, on April 18, 1985 Knollis married his soul mate, Maiselyn (Peaches) Thompson, the woman he’d spend the rest of his life with. To this union Knollis and Peaches produced two sons, Kadeem Knollis and Keenen Charles; in addition to raising his stepson, Kevin Edwards. In 1994 Knollis purchased a home and moved his family to Pennsylvania. Knollis built his house with love and laughter. Knollis was very handy and good at fixing things…anything. He fixed cars, pipes and plumbing. He single handedly built the deck on his home and he reconstructed buildings alongside his uncles and brother, Hugh. If a thing needed to be done, Knollis could do it. He even planted and cultivated his very own garden, from which he proudly harvested squash, zucchini and big round juicy tomatoes. One of the things that Knollis loved more than anything else was watching things grow and the other was listening to Brother Hugh’s songs. Knollis stepped into eternity on November 18, leaving behind his wife Peaches, to whom he was married twenty-four years; his four children, Annie, KaDeem, Keenen and Kevin; Grandchildren Keyshia, Keyondre, Kymani and Jeffery Jr.And his siblings, Velma Wizzard, Hugh Allison, Ingrid Morris, June Thompson, Maxine Ward, Joseph Allison, William Wilbert Allison, Theresa Allison, Craig Allison, Althea Allison; and a host of in-laws, nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles and a host of loved ones and friends. Knollis was preceded in death by his parents.
