Hi all , I would like to offer my condolences for the loss of Alan Clifford Johns.
Beautiful service for great uncle alan.
He was an absolutely amazing man whom me and my eldest daughter had the pleasure of meeting when he came over to the uk to my grandads (colin)
One memory i have is him sitting in my moms house when he was over for a visit having dinner and was eating in his coat as he said it was so cold in the uk and we was all laughing he asked my eldest daughter about kindergarten and she was so confused to what kindergarten was.
You will be truely missed by everyone.
Love hugs and thoughts to all the family.
Louisa & family xx
Our love and thoughts are with you all on the passing of uncle Alan.
Condolences to aunty Margaret, Patricia, Caroline, Wendy and families.
You have so many happy memories to cherish forever. He will live on in your memories always.
I will always treasure our day out together to Birmingham, we had a lovely lunch then went down to na na and grandads resting place, uncle Alan told me it was only down the road, we seemed to be walking for ever, then he looked at me with a smile and said, I don't remember it being this far.
I will always treasure that last walk together x
Thinking of you all and sending our love Julie and family xx
Dad was meticulous in everything he did, and that included being a father and head of the family. He was a truly wonderful and loving father that couldn't be faulted, for which I am thankful and privileged.
He was also a great father-in-law to Homa, and delighted in being Grandpa to Kaveh, Kian and Katie. The arrival of a greatgrandson, James, provided many happy moments and he was pleased that a second grandson, Alexandre, was on his way.
Dad will always be remembered with much love by all of us.
On behalf of all of the staff and residents at Aegis Shorehaven, we thank you for the pleasure of caring for Alan and, to you all, for being an extension of our Aegis Family. He leaves us all with fond memories. May he rest in peace.
You have so many happy memories. I wish I met your Dad,,, he seems like quite the character. Thinking of all of you today.
Condolences to you all on the loss of you darling Daddy / husband. If a person is measured by how much they are loved then he truly left a wonderful legacy. Big hugs to you all xx
I wish Grandpa had made it to see his second great grandchild who was born last Friday and will be taking his name.
I'll be telling them both all about him when they're older, and hope I can be half as good as a Dad and Grandad one day.
Lots of love me, Gabrielle and the boys.
Heartfelt condolences to Aunty Margaret, Caroline, Wendy and families on the passing of Uncle Alan.
A gentle giant, who will be remembered fondly for his cheeky ways and warm smiles.
Thinking of you all and sending our love and best wishes.
Alison, Adam and family xx
Our thoughts are with you all during this difficult time. Love Bruce and Julie
In loving memory of your beloved Husband and Father you are all in our thoughts and we send our deepest sympathy to you all at your sad loss
My beautiful Daddy,
The world is not the same without you here. To say I am heartbroken is an understatement. I wish I could hear you say carrot and currents one more time. Oh how I long for one more of your Daddy cuddles that made everything right.
I wish we could do the Lambeth walk, or sing and dance to The Bare Necessities.
You gave the bestest hugs and I loved that you always told me that you loved me. You had so much time and patience. You would always explain to me how something worked again and again until I got it.
You taught me how to work on cars, bricklay and a multitude of other things. I was never so proud as when you used the trowl I made for you and you said that it was the best one you had ever used.
I love that you loved Andrew like a son and had such a good relationship with him. We had alot of laughs together, especially when Andrew would say give us a kiss and you would say sod off or bugger off.
I will treasure every moment we had together and miss you every moment until we meet again.
Please give Granny, Grandad, Uncle Les, Uncle Colin and my boy Ned a hug and a kiss from me and a special kiss from Andrew. I love you Daddy 💜💜
All our love your Cracker; Caroline and Andrew xx
Alan was a true gentleman, he loved his wife and family with a passion. He was, as we would say in the UK ' A Jack of all trades ' he could turn his hands to anything . Mick remembers his sense of humour ,they often shared many conversations after a couple of Guinness's. The stories they shared were about their times and memories working as waiter's on the Cruise Ships. One story comes to memory, when Mick asked ' where did you meet Margaret ' his reply was' in the linen cupboard on board ship' Mick was always envious of another job Alan had. When in the UK he worked for a brewery and visited pubs to check the quality and taste of the beers .
We feel very lucky that we both had the privilege to meet Alan, as our son is his daughter Wendy's partner. It's not often in life you meet a true and genuine gentle giant. You are at rest now, dear Alan.
My Dear Daddy, I can't quite believe that you have gone and that I won't get another hug, cuddle, smile or dance. That we won't have anymore of our silly conversations that only you and I understand. I miss your sayings, your funny walks your wicked sense of humour. Who is going to fix or make things for me now? Oh to have one more of your warm, huggiest hugs. To see your cheeky smile to hear you call me Cheeky Bugger, Tatty Head or your little Tiger. To hear you say you love me, one more time.I know you know how much I loved you. I hope you know how much I miss you. I'm heartbroken that you have gone, but I hope that you are with your Mum, Dad and Uncle Colin and Les. Until we meet again my Dear Daddy. I love you forever and always.
Wendy and Mark xxxx
Alan will be dearly missed by his girls. Do not be afraid to shed your tears for your daddy, my beautiful friends. He deserves your tears. There will always be a special place in your hearts for him. He will live on in your memories.
Sadly I never had the privilege of meeting Alan but I know what a great man and wonderful dad he was from the times Wendy has spoken about him. His family are testament to his great character. Rest in peace Alan

aka our Lickle Daddy, Tatty Head, Cheeky Bugger.
We are absolutely heartbroken to say that our beautiful Daddy passed away yesterday.
Daddy, you were the bestest Daddy there was. Your love for your 3 girls knew no bounds. You would tell anyone that listened how much you loved your children and grandchildren and your great grandson (who sadly you never got to meet). You loved our mom, your wife fiercely.
There wasn't anything that you couldn't do. From sewing our clothes, to fixing cars, drawing, carpentry, building anything with any material to cooking and anything and everything in between. Of course we cannot forget embarrassing us at any opportunity.
You taught us all the value in honesty, integrity and ethics, as well as love for family, compassion, striving to help others and to always be kind.
We will miss dancing with you, whether it is in an aisle in the shops if you heard a catchy tune, or at home spontaneously to any sort of music. We will miss your funny 'inside' jokes, that no one else understands. We will miss your cuddles and your funny faces, your walking with a multitude of funny walks. We simply will miss you.
Rest easy sweet Daddy, now back in the arms of your Mom, Dad and your brother's Uncle Les and Uncle Colin.
We can hear you saying "what do you think of it so far" and to that we say "rubbish".
It is rubbish that you have gone.
We love you forever and always Daddy xx 💔❤
