Allan Alexander Carswell

Allan A. Carswell, 90, of Oreland, PA passed away on November 21, 2025 at Abington Jefferson Hospital. He was born on 11/1/1935 in Ottawa, Canada to James Everett and Vera Mae. Allan is survived by Joy, his sweetheart and wife of 67 years, and his brother, Garnet (Lois). He was a loving father to Jan Becker (John), Brent (Rita), Paul and Julie. He cherished every minute spent with his 7 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren.

Allan “Zeke” attended Glebe Collegiate High School and received many athletic awards throughout and post high school. His work career started as a specialized engraver at Canadian Banknote Company before moving to Philadelphia to work for Security Columbian Banknote Company in 1970. After retiring in 2000, he hand carved wood birds with exquisite detail and won many awards at various trade shows.

He rarely called a repairman as he valued the challenge and satisfaction of problem solving. His summers were spent at his cottage overlooking serene Silver Lake where he sailed, water skied, fished and visited dearly loved friends and relatives.

A visitation will be held at the Garden Chapel of Tubman Funeral Homes, 3440 Richmond Road, Nepean on Saturday, December 13, 2025 from 9:00 am until the time of the Memorial Service at 11:00 am. Reception to follow. Interment will be held at Pinecrest Cemetery at 2:30 pm.
