My sincere condolences to the family.

Both Alan and Betty were good friends to both Sean and I through the Royal Navy years and beyond. Always great company.

Thank you for your service Alan. Your watch is done. May you RIP.

Sharing in your sadness as you remember Alan.
Leaves and flowers may wither, The golden sun may set, But the hearts that loved you dearly, Are the ones that won’t forget.
To live in the hearts of those we love is never to die. Alan’s life was a blessing, your memory a treasure.
Our thoughts are with you all.
