Alan McCarthy

January 8, 1961 - July 27, 2020

Alan was an incredible man dedicated to his family, who he loved unconditionally; he is survived and beloved by, his wife Sue, his children Glenn, Stuart, Brendan and his wife Ashlie, grandchildren Remy and Reese, siblings, nieces and nephews, friends and every single person in his life. Alan loved his community, which he supported through his work with Victoria Police for 29 years; his time with the local Legal Service where he served as Chairman of the Board for some time; his umpiring work with Cricket Victoria as a member of the Premier Panel of Umpires; and his work based at Doveton College with the school community, breakfast club, Men and Women of Doveton, and more. Alan touched the lives of everyone he met, and always had a good word to say about everyone. He was full of love and kindness, honour and pride, bringing joy and comfort to his family, friends and community. Alan will be missed by many, but none more so than his family. As an organ donor, he will go on to help others and save lives beyond the span of his own. There will be no funeral, but when this craziness is over we will get together and have a drink to this amazing man we are so proud to call husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, colleague, mate and friend. Please hug your loved ones while you can

I felt every inch of Alan's unwavering love and affection for his whole family. He made me feel like I could achieve anything in life. I'll never forget the time I called him from work about a patient who was breaking the law. He was out of the police force by this stage but his honest, non-judgemental, social empowerment-focussed reply solved the issue for both me and the patient. I can't imagine how many people he has helped across his years of community work, both formal and informal. I also thank Alan for the way he reconnected our family across 3 continents and many of years of separation. We now have bonds that will never be broken because of Alan. His knowledge and interest in the history of our family is also something I thank him dearly for. Alan's loss is absolutely immense. The only solace is when I think about how much he loved Sue, his boys, daughter in law and grandkids as well as his family and friends. We all felt his love and we'll continue to feel it now and forever. This is a photo from our wedding and it reflects, perfectly, his and Sue's love. xxx Erin & Tom
