Allan Youdell (10 Sep 1931 - 18 Oct 2024)

In loving memory of Allan Youdell, a wonderful Husband, Uncle, God Father, Dad, Father-In-Law, Grandad, Brother and friend. He lived a very long and varied life. His passion was his family; he was a family man preferring their company to any other, a special family dinner around a big table was his favourite pastime. Mostly because of the family but also because of the dinner... Allan LOVED his food and especially Georgina's generous puddings and a quality glass of Aussie red!
He also loved to travel and has been to the four corners of the world; taking in much of Europe, the Americas, APAC and over to Oz to see his beloved brothers Derek & Clive on many occasions.
He was an accomplished sportsman playing and loving football and cricket, and latterly bowls and bridge.
He loved to dance when he was younger and the jazz greats were playing in his room to the end.
He was a committed Methodist, taking his place in Church life as a Steward and made his mark on the local Methodist Church in the late 90s / 2000s by renovating WB Methodist Church and bringing it into the modern order it still is today.
His work life was in two halves, a skilled draftsman for the first half and an equally able HR professional in the second half. Ending his career after 30 years with Plessey in the mid 90s.
Allan was a colourful character who loved a good joke and was easily moved to laughter.
He will be forever loved and greatly missed by his wife Georgina and all his family. May he Rest in Peace.
