Condolences to the Baird family. Alan was a fun-loving member of ANZ Bank staff in Invercargill in 1970 and Lesley and I caught up with him later when he had the motel in Queenstown. RIP Alan.

My deepest sympathy and love to all Alan´s family. What an amazing coincidence that this evening I asked after him only to learn of his funeral today. Alan was a delightful and fun loving member of our year group at Tuakau 1965 and for a short time at Claremont Novitiate. Later I taught at Marist College Invercargill and spent many a time at the family home on Tay St. May you all be strengthened at this time.
