Ben will be sadly missed but lovingly remembered by all his family and friends.
Allan was born on 8th April 1939 at his grandparents to proud parents Edna & Ben.
After attending West Street & Ludford Street Schools, he left at the age of 15 to work at Crewe Works as an apprentice fitter.
It was during a night out at that he met his future wife Sandra. They married in December 1957 & having their three children completed their family.
Allan also became a class one lorry driver travelling the country.
Sandra & Allan enjoyed caravan holidays with friends & family & they eventually purchased a touring caravan of their own & never looked back. Their children & grandchildren have many great stories to tell from their holidays at Welshpool & the Touring Caravan.
Scotland was one of Allan’s favourite places & when they went abroad they enjoyed Malta, Turkey & America & also visited Prague for Sandra’s 65th birthday.
Allan was fun to be with, lived a full life & was also able to laugh at himself.
He sadly passed away in the care of Leighton Hospital on the 4th November, aged 81 years.
A service to celebrate Allan’s life will take place in the Crematorium Chapel, Crewe on Monday the 16th November.
