Alan Lea Obituary
Predeceased by his parents, John and Margaret. Survived by his wife of 56 years, Susan and sons Gavin, Andrew (Suzanne) and Oliver (Saba). Brother to Martin (Pat) and grandfather to Hannah, Marcus and Cameron.
Alan completed his engineering apprenticeship at the BAC in Bristol, graduating with a Higher National Certificate in Mechanical Engineering.
After a few years he and Sue decided to taste a new country and moved to Montreal in 1963. Alan took up employment with Pratt & Whitney Canada, joining their development team for the groundbreaking PT6 turboprop engine still in use on aircraft around the world today. He stayed with P&WC until his retirement in 1998.
The family would like to express their gratitude to the Sooke Hospice Society and the Beacon Community Services for making it possible for Alan to be at home during his illness. We particularly thank Dr. Tomas Vally, who was always available to help and comfort.
A donation in Alan's name can be made to the Sooke Hospice Society at sookehospice.com, a non-profit caring organization and an essential part of our community.

Dear Susan and Family,It is with sadness to say how sorry we were to hear Alan had passed away. Being Alan's first cousin I have very fond memories of holidays spent with Alan at Aunt Madge & Uncle Johns houses at Woodway Lane Coventry and Blockley. I only had the chance to meet Alan a few times in later years but it was always good to chat about old times. Our thoughts are with you all at this sad time.Colin & Joan Lea, Atherstone England
