Alan was a dear friend and associate to many. He will always be remembered for the way he was with the ladies, he would always say 'alright darlin'
Although at times Alan was a bit of an awkward person to get on with, he still had many people who looked up to him n respected him.
He had his children who eventually was proud of and had many grandchildren that he grew much attached to. When Alan found out he had cancer his whole world fell around him and thats when close family and friends started to notice a big change in him. He was a kinder,caring and sharing man, who only wanted the best for people. But you had to be close to him to notice it.
He was very proud to have lived long enough to walk his daughter Sonya down the aisle and see her wed.(above picture)
I will always remember Alan by his slippers!! Everywhere he went he wore his slippers, even to go in2 town in.
Alan was very stubborn at times especially on his last few days with us; though he was very brave and held on for hours for somebody special to visit before he gave up.
Knowing Alan has made me believe that life is far too short and in time everyody should forgive and forget all the wrong that has been said or done.

I saw a black crow the day after Alan had passed so i ran after it,threw a stone and said 'youre not taking his soul yet' But as i walked back into his house i felt emptyness like that crow had taken him. Then i realised nobody and nothing could have taken him because he will always be with me in my thoughts and my heart.

You made me who I am I can't forget you since I was your little man
Everyday I know your there where I will see you soon as time never stops
It's what you wanted if not it would not of been so soon, it changed so much
You not being here though I've said before you taught me not to fear,
Love is a word so my energy I give for if that's what we both want then together
Again we shall live, god bless you dad I understand you better since you have gone
So it's my turn now to not be understood though our lives are intertwined as they should

2 years ago tonight we said our goodbyes to you,its hard to believe how quickly the time has passed and yet it feels like it was only yesterday we lost you. I think about you everyday and always remember little tings about you that make me smile to myself.
Today i tied some flowers on the tree outside the house where you left us and that was harder than watching you suffer the way you did,iv not been there since u passed and today made me cry. I hope you like the headstone i made for your grave,its personalised A B S just for you.
Sleep tight step dad Alan,rest with the angels now.Love you xx

Well its been a year since you leftedus all, wat a hard day that was and ever since. I think of you everyday your grandchildren always ask about you. I always remember the good times we had and especially the day you made me so happy walking me down that aisle that was the happiest day of my life, i remember when we were all sat down at the wedding meal and cathy played up coz you got chocolate cake lol. And the day i went in labour with jesse youfell asleep in the waiting room and spilt coffee all over youself, when mum told me all i could do was laugh even though i was in pain myself.. We all miss you so very much, you are always in our thoughts and forever in our hearts. xxxxxxxxx

You silly ole git!!!

I know have known you for over 25 years and a lot has happened in that time....but two things always spring to mind when I think of you apart from your great beard and slippers!!! Its the times when I was around 10 yrs old and I was always round Carolines when you two were married and you always use to give me 20p or 50p sometimes if you were feeling generous.
You always use to say go and get some sweets and while you are there just get me and out would come a list of food lol...I knew there would be a catch after a while lol.

The other thing was when I gave you some work when I was self employed and you came to work with me on Keble Road as you were in need of some extra money for xmas...I was a bit dubious about letting you loose with tools but just wanted to help you with money to return the favour all those years ago.
I gave you a simple bloody job and I said can you just TRIM the Fuschia in the front garden but do not take too much off and when I came back from the DIY store you had bloody cut the whole lot down to the stump.
Even though I moaned at you I still could not help but laugh and we laughed about it for ages afterwards....you silly ole git!!!!

I hope you are up there with my DAD having a right old laugh I know you like to wind each other up, you're a pair of silly ole gits!!!!
R.I.P Alan xx
