Alan TAYLOR Obituary

Go well Alan on your final journey to be re-united with your beautiful Marie, you were a devoted husband, father, grandfather and friend to many and we loved having you and Marie in our large family. Thinking of you all in this sad time.

May you rest in peace in the warm embrace of your loved ones. Sending Grant, Heather, and extended family our deepest condolences.
On behalf of Tran family

So sorry to learn of Alan's passing.
We feel privileged to have known him and are forever grateful for the times spent with him and his family, in our early days in Wellington.
Alan was always helpful and encouraging to his Railway colleagues. We will miss his friendly disposition, his subtle sense of humour and him just being Alan.
A gentleman in every sense of the word.
RIP
Kevin & Margaret Lanyon

Too many fond memories of Alan to list. A great ambassador of your lovely country, we miss him already. Prayers to you and your family.

May you be resting at last Grandad x
May you shine down on my sorta Dad Grant and his Family and live on through him!
He's had the best father figure anyone could ask for.
Thank you for allowing me to be part of your life, thank you for being you!

Going to miss you always Granddad.

Alan, it was a pleasure to meet you. I greatly enjoyed our stay with you and your many kindnesses during our visit to your beautiful country. We will remember you fondly. My condolences to Grant and Heather and the rest of your great family.

Very much loved and respected father & father-in-law to Grant & Heather-Kate; loved & devoted granddad of Michael & Alan Taylor (Palmerston North), Simon, Stephanie, & Lauren Gadd (Auckland, Guernsey U.K., & Dunedin); & very special and much valued ‘other granddad’ to Shana Solomon (Foxton) and Gia & Percy Tran (Melbourne & Palmerston North). We will miss spending time with you. There will be such a big loving gap where your smiling face or cheeky grimace used to be. We so much admired your genuine and caring way with people, your devotion to all your grandchildren, your sense of humour and mischief and your generous and loving heart. We will truly treasure all the special memories we have of you. Rest in peace with your Lord, and in the arms of your beloved sweetheart, Marie.

I have fond memories of you Alan. It was a privilege to know you.
