Our Support Staff

Allan Levesque, Funeral Assistant Helping others has been a passion of Allan’s for his entire working career.  Retiring in 2016, after a 39 year career in community transportation care, Allan became a member of our support team as a Part time Funeral Director Assistant in September of 2016.  You may recognize Allan from being a lifelong resident of Niagara Falls, graduate of Stamford Collegiate (1968), and an active member within our community.

Allan’s early employment began at Dorchester Manor and the Boys and Girls Club.  Among many duties, he served to provide safe transportation for residents, and student members of the club.  In 1977, Allan found his niche with St. John Ambulance and was influential in the initiation of the Chair-A-Van Service.  Over the years he served on the Board of Directors and became the Superintendent of the Niagara Falls Division.  He subsequently became the Corps Staff Officer for Niagara Falls, Welland, Port Colborne and Fort Erie.  Allan’s accomplishments with St. John include covering for Merrittville Speedway, Welland County Motorcycle Club and more prominently, the visit of Pope John Paul II in Toronto and the visit of Queen Elizabeth II for her Diamond Jubilee.   

Allan’s commitment has awarded him such medals as the St. John Ambulance Service Medal acknowledging 10,000 hours of volunteer service.  He was named a Paul Harris Fellow by the Rotary Foundation of Rotary International for his involvement in the initiation of Chair-A-Van.  Most prestigiously, Allan was honoured as a Serving Brother in the Order of St. John of Jerusalem.  A medal of service recognition given under the patronage of Queen Elizabeth II and presented by the Lieutenant Governor. 

Allan currently resides with his spouse Anissa and has been an avid motorcyclist since 1966.  He devotes his spare time to physical activities including on road cycling, and weight lifting.  A fun fact of Allan’s, is that he has never owned a computer or a cell phone.
