It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of our much loved husband, father, grandfather, son, and brother on Monday, September 1, 2025. A true outdoorsman, he found his peace on the water. Whether casting a fly line, hoisting a sail, or waiting patiently with passion during whitebaiting season. His love for the river and sea was matched only by his love for his family. He is survived by his beloved wife Marj Allan. Treasured father of Dean, Todd, and Kurt, and respected father-in-law of Esther, Stephanie, and Tessa. Adored grandfather of Eva, Elijah, Charlie, Oscar, and Daisy. Cherished son of the late Bill and Joy Allan, brother of Kaye, Richard, and the late Chris.

Don’t measure me for harp and wings but let me have instead these things. Some tackle and a rod and reel, a pair of waders and a creel
