Robert “Alan” Nichol

Early in the morning of November 3, 2024, Alan Nichol in his 72^nd year quietly passed from this world with his family at his side.

Al, as he was known by many, grew up in Thorndale and was predeceased by his father Lloyd, mother Kay, and brother Gary.

Alan will be forever missed by his brother Jack and sister-in-law Shanti.  Also, most important to him are stepdaughter Chantel Nightingale and most especially his step-grandson Josh Nightingale.  He is lovingly remembered by several nieces and nephews.

Al also cared about his many staunch friends from the AA program where his quiet demeanor, thoughtfulness, understanding and kindness was appreciated.

He was an avid sportsman, trivia whiz, writer, voracious reader and quiet activist.

Alan had faced so many health obstacles in his life as a 25-year liver transplant survivor, tonsil cancer, two separate heart attacks with a total of 5 stents, and for the last 12 months, he had to take his food and medicine through a G-tube.  Yet through all this, his mantra was, “It is what it is.”

His funeral will be held on Friday, November 8, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. at Northview Funeral Chapel, 1490 Highbury Ave. North, London, with visitation one hour prior.

Alan donated to many charities each year and however you choose to remember him will be appreciated.
