Hello Norman, there are several Joseph Allan deaths showing on BDM site post 1950

...https://www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz/search/

Do you have his and Susan's birth years to work from ?

All but 2 of the 9 Josephs have 2nd names as well and of the 4 Susans, there is just 1 with no second name

2008/2901    Allan Susan      18 March 1923 (birth date)

If that is definitely her birth date, then by process of elimination on the 2008/2901 information from BDM site, her date of death was 28 January 2008. Someone may be able to offer more with that info when NZ wakes up  ;) ... electoral rolls, cemetery, newspaper death notice etc...

Were you able to pick out your Joseph from the site ?

The only possibility on the BDM site then is the one with the birth date 23 March 1923 ... ref 1983/43583 ... but is John with second name Joseph and also a 3rd name ... unless what we're looking for is referrenced under a different spelling of Allan ...

OR your Joseph is still living at 90 years ....

Under the spelling Allen there isn't Joseph on own that matches age, there are 2 with second name Joseph, born 1922

Nothing showing with the spelling Alan
