The obituary notice of Alan SHEDWICK

This is your 1st Birthday since you died and I should be on my way to see you with a card and present, instead I am writing on here and still cannot believe that you are no longer with us. You once told me that you was the big brother instead of me being the big sister when you helped me through bad times. I hope I have been able to help you through your bad times but now I can’t help you and I am completely heartbroken. I am overwhelmed with sadness at the thought that I will never see you again. All my love to the best big brother ever xx

It’s your 1st Birthday since you died and I still cannot believe you are no longer with us. I should be on my way to give you your card and present, instead I am here writing how much I miss you. You once told me that you was the big brother instead of me being the big sister, when you was there for me. I have tried to be there for you when you needed me but now I can’t be and that is breaking my heart. Words can’t describe how desperately sad I feel without you in my life. You are the best a brother can be. Love you so much xx

So many memories......all my life.
Always there from the day I was born.
Travelling to Earls Court with you on the train, as a young kid going to see Pink Floyds The Wall. The yearly trips to Daisy Nook's Easter fair. Morecambe fun house and that game of tag. Teaching me to play Black Jack. That Price of Persia game! The Pavilion Saturday morning football, the Tameside Sunday League and the Oldham Sunday League. The BT Conferences and Roadshows. That weekend you, me and Gayle went to Alum Pot camping, and those scout tents. Gaping Gill winch meet. Watching the Superbowl. The Zip Line in Wales. Harlem Nights! All those Christmas holidays in the Farmhouse. That Christmas Day run in your new running shoes, did they ever see the light of day again? Trailer Park Of Terror. All the Wales Holidays: Beach Walks, Rock Jumping, Kayaking, Evening Seal watching at the cove, Boating - the time we used it as a pool it was so hot. Spa!
Too many memories to mention, some of the things we did.
Rest easy Al, miss you everyday!

Gayle & Oscar,

I’m really sorry for your loss, Alan was a friend first & colleague that I had known for 18 years. His sharp wit & sense of humour will be missed. It was always nice to hear him talk about his family, the dogs, your adventures & his general banter. lt still feels strange to accept what has transpired. I’m sorry I can’t be there today, your family has been & will continue to be in my thoughts.

Kind regards

Saj

In memory of a true gent.

I know I'm not alone in saying that I will miss Alan. I have had the privilege of working with him and am blessed with some lovely memories of a good man. His sense of humour is one of his stand-out traits but his greatest of all was his compassion for others. He would always be there for his colleagues especially when the going was a bit difficult and I know many owe much to him which will go unsaid. To Alan's family whom I know meant so much to him, I offer my sincere condolences at this most difficult of times. He was so very proud of you. Rest in peace Shedders.

My thoughts go out to Alan's family and friends , especially Gayle and Oscar .
Alan was such a great person to work. Very knowledgeable, patient and kind .
Gone far too early , rest in peace Alan. X
