  6. Dear Alison, Susie, Steve & Amy and family,

    We have been so blessed to have Alan in our family. He was a bright spark with a heart of gold – and dearly loved his family (as well as the mighty Hawks). Such fond memories.

    We will always treasure our time with such a wonderful and caring uncle. Wow … what a sense of humour! He would light up any gathering with his wit and humour – and easy, inclusive manner.

    Our deepest love and condolences.

    Love and best wishes,
