Henry Ceelen says
June 29, 2023 at 1:55 pmAllison was certainly on the Mount Rushmore of dairy breeders in Canada if not the world as evidenced by the very large number of superior cattle he bred. He was a giant in the dairy industry. Fortunately, he passed on his knowledge to his family (in particular Dave) and all cattle breeders that sought his advice.
His stories about the early days of local cattle shows and the progress made throughout the years were all very interesting. He was a wealth of history and information. Allison was always pleasant and helpful.
He will be missed by his family, his community, fellow cattle breeders and the dairy industry.
Please accept my sincerest condolences and sympathies.
Bonnie Cooper says
June 29, 2023 at 4:20 pmMy deepest sympathy to the Fawcett Family on the passing of Allison. He was a talented and beloved Holstein breeder, leader, judge and sales manager and will be deeply missed.
