CONCORD-----Alan B. Easton, Sr., of Concord, formerly of Gilford and Peterborough, and beloved husband of Kay (Lucius) Easton, passed away suddenly but peacefully on February 4, 2020.
Born in Goffstown on August 30, 1942, Alan was the son of Ruth Easton; he spent his childhood and most of his adult life as a New Hampshire resident.
Alan was employed in several vocations throughout his life, including oil delivery, newspaper circulation for the Manchester Union Leader, dispatcher for the Belknap County Sheriff’s Department, and then settled into a job choice he seemed to enjoy the most, driving charter bus routes for Concord Trailways.
In the years following, he and Kay spent several years in Kissimmee, Florida, where he worked part-time as a shuttle bus driver for Walt Disney World. Alan and Kay returned to Concord in 2006.
We also remember Alan (Dad) for his time as a first responder, as he served as a volunteer firefighter for the Peterborough and Gilford Fire Departments. His service is appreciated and remembered.
Alan is survived by his loving wife, Kay; his children, Alan Jr., Tony, and Jodi; Kay’s children, Kim, Debbie, Jeff, and Lori, as well as numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Alan was pre-deceased by his mother, Ruth, and by Carol Easton, mother to Tony and Jodi.
