Alan Lionel Taffurelli Dodd (23 Oct 1943 - 1 Apr 2026)

It is with great sadness that I post this.

On 1st April 2026 we lost Alan Dodd (Taffurelli) — a husband, Dad and Grandad. 💛

Dad was one of a kind. A man who would walk into any room and light it up. He loved our family with everything he had. He was the most wonderful husband, father and grandad — a man who loved his family, his friends, his Jag, his shooting, his Lodge and his fish pond with equal devotion! 🐟😄

There are no words big enough for what he meant to us. Our safe place and our biggest cheerleader. He made us feel safe, loved and proud every single day. We are so honoured to have had him in our lives and to carry so many wonderful memories with us always.

The world is a quieter place without him in it. But what a life he lived and what a mark he left on every single one of us.

💛 FUNERAL DETAILS 💛
The funeral will be held on Wednesday 30th April 2026 at 2:30pm at Gedling Crematorium. I will repost Obituary details once confirmed with A W Lymn.

All are welcome to attend and pay your respects.

A wake will follow — details to be confirmed shortly. As numbers will be large, if you are planning to attend the wake please do let me know so we can make sure everyone is catered for. A message here or in my inbox is absolutely fine. (Janine.tb2411@icloud.com/07923 502160).

If you knew Dad, you'll know the send off will be nothing short of spectacular — just as he deserves.

He will always walk with us. 💛

All our love, always and forever.
