Nipissing District GenWeb bids farewell to it's original host...
Derrick Stanley Allison 1949-2011
The Original Nipissing GenWeb host, owner of Allison the Bookman and my father.
On June 29, 2011, my father, Derrick Allison, passed away after a long battle with Carcinoid Syndrome
(a form of cancer). Derrick was the owner of Allison the Bookman and OneStop Books in North Bay and was also the Original Host for the Nipissing District GenWeb when the GenWeb project
was just getting going on the internet in 1998. He helped me out on numerous occasions sending me new books and other memorabilia
from our family store to help me out on the site as well as giving me access to some of my grandfather's items which are
being put into a special section of the website. My father was an avid believer in supporting the North and all businesses,
genealogy, and medical research done in the north. He was well known in the area and certainly will be missed by many. I am
honouring his memory and his achievement as one of Nipissing's proud hosts and the man who helped me to continue my love
of genealogy. I'll always love and miss him...
Always remember the good
times with loved ones who are no longer with us, those smiles they brought will always be special in your heart... And always remember to share your memories and traditions with the generations after you, they are the ones that carry
them on...
Peace, Love and Kindness
Thank you everyone for being so supportive of my efforts to keep Nipissing
GenWeb up and running smoothly!
