Allan Liljehult Obituary
Allan Liljehult (1927-2018), died January 14, 2018 after a brief illness. Allan was born in Portsmouth, NH, graduated from Portsmouth High School and ultimately became a Court Reporter in the United States Coast Guard. He was stationed in New York City, Washington, DC, London, and in France. After discharge he worked in Boston before marrying his wife, Betty. They settled in West Hartford when Allan went to work for the Superior Court of Hartford/New Britain. Allan was the Official Reporter until his retirement, when he and Betty opened a statewide court reporting firm, Allan Reporting, which they ran for many years. He is survived by his daughter, Diane Tucker, her husband John and their daughter Julia of Farmington, sisters Lilian, Dorothy, Berdie and brother Jack, as well as several very beloved nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his dear wife, Betty, and his nephew Dennis Allan McCann. Allan was a dignified and erudite man who enjoyed classical music, opera, theatre, and was very well read. His greatest pleasures were his family and his many trips to Barbados which he relished for over fifty years. Services are private at the convenience of his family.

Diane & John: I am so sad that Allan has passed. I truly enjoyed all the time we spent together and especially his very quick wit and sense of humor. There's truly a blank space that cannot be filled. A true gentleman in every respect. I feel blessed to have known him and sad that he's no longer with us. Wishing you peace in knowing how special he truly was. He's with Betty now and picking up right where they left off.

Diane and John:
Very sorry to read of your dads passing. He will be remembered as a quiet and gentle man.with a keen sense of humor. Dinners with Betty and Allan on Saturday nights at so many different restaurants venues were always a fun filled evening.
My deepest condolences.
