Alan, W. Ware

Alan Walter Ware, 83, of Avon, beloved husband of Joan (Hooper) Ware, passed away Monday, January 3, 2022. He was born in Scarborough, England to the late Sydney and Roselind (Newstead) Ware. After growing up in Scarborough, Alan spent several years in the British Merchant Navy and graduated from the University of Hull. He was employed by General Electric and at Fylingdales, an American early warning system on the Yorkshire Moors, before settling in Farmington with his family in the 1970s. Alan was a man of integrity, optimism and enthusiasm. His strong people management skills led him to Scan-optics in East Hartford and then to Spectrascan, where he rose to become the CEO. Alan and his family owned a home in Ludlow, VT, where he loved skiing and boating on Lake Rescue. He enjoyed the many British sports cars the family had and especially liked his Jaguars. He was always the life and soul of family celebrations, and nothing gave him more joy than spending time with his grandchildren, Christopher, Catherine, and Jack. Besides his wife, Joan, and grandchildren, he leaves a son, Paul Ware, and his wife, Dawne, of Farmington; a daughter, Caroline Beitman, and her husband, Alan, of Avon; and a sister, Ann Robson, of Scarborough, England. Due to COVID, Alan’s immediate family will hold a private service. The Carmon Funeral Home & Family Center of Avon is caring for the arrangements.
