BRISTOL — Allen Robert Spinner, better known as Al, passed away peacefully on Sept. 9, 2025, at the age of 64.
Al was born on Feb. 21, 1961, the son of Allen John Spinner and the late Gertrude Marsh Spinner, and a beloved brother to his siblings. Al was a dedicated husband to his late wife Debbie and a cherished stepfather to Debbie’s five children, Timothy, Shannon, Amanda, Derek and Ashley.
Al was a long-time resident of Bristol. He spent over 20 years as a loyal employee at PCC. However, his favorite title was “Papa Al.” His love and commitment to his grandchildren never went unnoticed. He loved to play video games and go fishing with his grandkids, creating special bonds with each of them.
Prior to Al’s illness he loved motorcycle rides and a good beer by the bonfire. His infectious laugh and quick wit ensured he never met a stranger. Al enjoyed taking long drives and discovering new restaurants with his best friend and late wife Debbie. The family takes comfort in knowing that Al is once again in the arms of his loving wife, who was waiting for him.
Allen is survived by his father, Allen Spinner; sisters Joanne Lynch, Verniece Leblanc and Carol Caruso; stepchildren Timothy Rogers, Shannon Allen (Seth), Amanda Wright (Jake), Derek Wright and Ashley Wright; grandchildren Lilly, Haiden, Shane, Harper, Dylan, Joey, Autumn, Connor, Willow and Rowan; as well as several nieces and nephews. Also surviving him is his extended family, Jason Stevenson and Cassidy Clayton.
Allen was preceded in death by his wife of 21 years, Deborah Spinner; his mother, Gertrude Spinner; brother William Spinner; as well as his granddaughter, Laken Charlotte Allen.
A calling hour will be held from noon to 1 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 21, in the Carriage House at Wilkinson-Beane-Simoneau-Paquette Funeral Home, 164 Pleasant St., Laconia.
