I was very sad to hear of Allan's death. I have pruned Allan's roses and tidied his garden each year since 2014, and always found him genuine, genial and generous. I was impressed with the way he dealt with the challenges life put his way over these last years of his life. My sympathies to his family.

Allan was a great man. Always helpful and caring. A very practical and straight to the point kind of fella. He'll be greatly missed at the gliding club. My thoughts are with his family. Fly high Allen.
