J. Allan Provan, Esq. age 77 of Wayne died peacefully at home on Monday, January 30, 2012.
He was born and raised in North Arlington having attended North Arlington High School and then Stony Brook Prep School in Long Island. He graduated from Fairleigh Dickinson University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business and then New York Law School with his Jurisprudence Degree. He was a member of the New York and New Jersey Bar Associations.
J. Allan initially practiced law in Kearny and moved his family and practice to Wayne in 1966. Having initially lived in the Packanack Lake section of Wayne for six years he has lived in the Township for over forty-five years.
He had a funny sense of humor, an outgoing personality and truly was concerned for the well being of others. Sailing was one of his favorite past times. He had a sailboat on the Hudson River for many years and enjoyed sailing to Block Island, NY; Newport, RI; Martha’s Vineyard and Three Mile Harbor. He was also a pilot and had an airplane at the Caldwell Airport for many years. Skiing in Vermont was another activity J. Allan enjoyed. He even had the opportunity to go Heli-Skiing in Canada once and had fond memories of the experience. Many remember him riding a motorcycle around town, something he gave up just a few short years ago. When J. Allan was a young boy he took piano lessons from a man named Fred. Forty years later he decided to take piano lessons once again and sure enough he found Fred who again helped him with lessons.
He was the loving father of James Allan Provan and his wife Terry of Burbank, CA, Allan Paul Provan of Wayne, and David Scott Provan and his wife Pamela of West Milford; cherished grandfather of Jeffrey, Lucy, Bridget, Alejandra and Daniel; loved brother of Lillian Gilkenson and her husband Paul of Cumming, GA.
