Jan 22, 1934 - Jan 12, 2006
Texas Ranger 1961 - 1976
We
sadly report the January 12th passing of former Texas Ranger A. Y. Allee,
Jr., who died just 10 days prior to his 72nd birthday. He is survived
by son Rod Allee of Midland, Texas, and daughter Laurie Whiteaker of
San Angelo, Texas.
Born on January
22, 1934 in Beeville, Texas, he was raised in Carrizo Springs and graduated
high school there. He joined the communications division of the Department
of Public Safety in 1952 as a radio dispatch operator. In 1955, Allee
entered the Texas Highway Patrol and served in San Angelo, San Antonio
and Del Rio.
In 1961, Allee,
Jr. joined the Texas Rangers, Company "E", first stationed
in Del Rio, then in Midland, Ozona, and Alpine. At the time of his retirement
in 1976, he was back in Midland. For several years after retiring from
the Texas Rangers, Allee worked for the Brewster County Sheriff’s
Department in Alpine.
When A. Y. Allee,
Jr. became a Texas Ranger, he followed a family tradition for four generations
in the making—his father Captain A. Y. Allee, Sr., was a Ranger
from 1931 to 1970, his grandfather Alonzo W. Allee, was a Special Ranger,
and great grandfather A. Y. Allee was also a Texas Ranger.
