Having just lost my Mom to AD I can tell you that many people are able
to conceal their disease for a long time.

I don't think Russ can have had a "battle with Alzheimer's for 7

, he was chairing one of their committees until 2005.

I had the great privilege to speak with Russ Allison at a
conference in Australia several years ago. He was a funny
man, he was a wild man and enjoyable to be around. His
birthday was October 31st - and a Halloween has never gone by
since or will go by that I won't think of him. Cheers Russ

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.

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.
