This Website was Created in the Loving Memory
of My Son Allan Tomlin
My Beautiful Son Allan was born in Southport England on Saturday the 26th February 1977
and passed away suddenley and tragically by accident in the early hours of the 17th September 2002 while sleeping at the very young age of 25 leaving behind a devasted family. Broken hearted mum Delia, Step dad Billy, Brothers BJ & Shane Grand mother Edith, Grandad Joe, Auntie Netty & Uncle Frank, Auntie Lin, Auntie Margy & Uncle John, Auntie maria, Auntie Dawn & partner Michael (also friend) Cousins, Andrea, Paul, Jay, Erin, Ellie & Aimee Erin's partner Gareth & little Declan & lots & lots of close friends
Allan was a really nice caring person, he was so good looking, he had a radient smile, he had a good sense of humour and a kind heart every body liked him, he was so hard working in everything he did, I used to always call him Angel and now he is one.
Allan grew up in Southport with his brother BJ, mum Delia and his step dad Billy using Billy's surname Beggs, as you'll see things on this site use both names Tomlin and Beggs, when Allan grew up he started to use his own name Tomlin
Allan has a brother called BJ, Allan loved him very much, BJ has learning difficulties, cerebral palsy & is profoundly deaf his only form of communication is British Sign Language, BJ will never marry or have children of his own, drive a car, work or any of the other normal things we all do, he has support worker's who come & take him out so he can be independent from us on a day to day basis, Allan never got to have children either so we will never have the pleasure of having any grand children and that means our family stops here just Billy, Delia, Allan & BJ
Allan tried a few jobs after he left school he always worked hard in any job he had, he was always conscientious and did everything to the best of his ability.He always had a girlfriend his first real girlfriend was called Jenny she was a lovely girl they went out together for about two years.Then there was Hayley they was on and off right up to the Christmas before allan died, Hayley has a little girl called Jazmin, Allan loved Jazmin to bits, he treated her as if she were his own daughter.
Allan moved to bedford down south near London after his 21st Birthday with his then girlfriend Cindy they moved in with Cindy's auntie at first till they could get a flat of there own. Allan got a job in a Butchers shop which he liked and they got a small flat together, they seemed okay for a while but Cindy had to return to the USA. Allan decided to stay in Bedford as he had settled there and made some good friends.
Allan got a new job in stock contol at Spectrum for Debenhams and met a new girl called Louise they dated for a while and then got a nice new flat togther, they seemed really happy and stayed in that flat for about two years, Allan always had a girlfriend for two years. After Al and Lou split Allan kept his flat on. He made some good friends in Bedford, Muski and Gavin to name a few
Allan always tried to come home for the holidays and if he couldn't he would always send presents, he would say he couldn't make Christmas then at the last minute he would ring and I would be running up to Preston even Manchester last thing on Christmas Eve to meet him of the train.
Allan like most kids do would ring me when he moved some where and say mum come and see me and help me, I would drop everything go five hours down the motoway with the car full of quilts pots and pans and things for his flat, clean it top to bottom then do his shopping then cry half the way home, it was so painful leaving him some where, I didn't know what pain was then.
Allan started to see Hayley and Jazmin again she traveled to Bedford a couple of times to see him and stayed with him at the flat a few times. Then at Christmas when he moved home they took up again then it was off again.
Allan missed his family and wanted to move back nearer home so at Christmas 2001 we went to Bedford and helped Allan to move home again that was a great Christmas for me.
Allan loved cooking and one of his favourite types of food was Indian food, while in Bedford Allan's friends wife taught him some Indian cookery so were ever Allan lived his Indian cook books, recipes, blender, chopping board, knifes and spices would go. Allan would regually cook for his friends he was very good at it.
Allan spent the whole of Boxing Day 2001working hard in the kitchen cooking for us at home so i could have a rest and relax all day, we had course after course of Indian food it was lovely. That was to be Allan's last Christmas, I will treasure that memory forever.
Allan got bored after Christmas and in the Febuary of 2002 he decided to move to my sister's house in Blackpool and look for work, he got a Job in the food industry, he worked as a catering assitant at the Outside Inn Eating House that is attached to the Blackpool Premier Lodge Motel. He loved it and we hoped one day Allan would enrol in college and train to be a chef
Allan moved out of my sister's house and in with two friends from work Kev and Fran and they all got along fine taking all his cooking tools with him of course
