What a remarkable way to celebrate the life of, and farewell, an equally remarkable man. A genuine, honest, and reliable friend and neighbour.
We’ll miss Alan, “Onslo”, but he’s left us with feelings of privilege for having known him well, GREAT memories of times shared and stories told, and a wonderful family with whom to share those memories and stories.
Job well done Gina, Jennean, Matthew, Ryan, and Damian and little Riley. Thank you for letting us all be a part of Alan’s FABULOUS “hooroo” bash.
(Thanks too, to the MG Car Club).
