LOUDEN, Allan James. 1 January 1944 - 25 October 2024. It is with heavy hearts we announce the sad passing of our beloved husband, Dad and Poppy. Allan was the loving and much loved husband of Lynn for over 57 years. Devoted and amazing Dad of Eve, Paul and Teena. Dearest Poppy of Reuben and Matthew, Ethan and Olivia, Riley, Reece and Jess and Jodie. The eldest son of Alva and Amelia Louden (both deceased), brother of Esma (deceased), Colin, and Neville. He was a long-standing and respected engineer at Toyota NZ, Thames assembly plant (over 34 years), an accomplished Rugby player, swimmer, diver, hunter, fisherman, and tennis player. He will be missed by his tennis family of Te Puru, and by friends he has had for many years, not to mention his beloved Fluffy and Sadie. He will be remembered also for his quick wit and smart mind. Thank you to all who gave love and support in the past months of Allan's illness. In accordance with Allan's wishes, a private family service will take place, followed by cremation.
