Alan 'Big Al' Hoare

20th December 1961 – 15th August 2022.

Alan was born in Bermondsey, and was the first of six children to Alan and Jackie Hoare. He leaves behind his wife Debbie, his son, James, his mother Jackie, sisters Caron and Lisa, brothers Danny, Terry and Stephen, as well as many friends and colleagues who adored working and spending time with him. He was a kind and generous man who often put others before himself. 

Alan was known as ‘Big Al’ for many reasons. He was not only big in stature, but also big in character, and a big member of his community, and with his passing, he will leave a big hole in all our lives. 

Alan wished not to have a traditional funeral, and wanted to have a simple unattended funeral. In light of this, those of you who knew him are invited to share your messages of condolance, as well as your memories and photos of your time spent with Alan. 

In honour of Alan’s memory, if you are able to do so, we request that you make a donation to either the British Heart Foundation, or Diabetus UK.
