Very sad news, Alan was a true gentleman, he was the guy that got me on the road to ruin with valve rolling, we spent many a happy hour or two rolling valves back in the day
RIP Alan

As you say Alan was a decent human being met him a few times, even repaired a couple of items for him over the years, he came to see back in 2006 when we were in Malvern.
Best wishes to the family

Oh no,no,no. I can't believe this. I've been to Alan's and he's been to mine a couple of times. We regularly email and text about hifi and football. I'm gutted.
RIP Alan. One if the nicest fellas I've ever met, even though you were a West Ham fan. I'll think about you lots over the next few months Al. Sleep well old chum.
Gutted.

It has been suggested to me that it would be a nice idea if a few of Alan's "audio buddies" got together and sent some flowers to the funeral.
I think it's a great idea, especially as it looks like I won't be able to attend the funeral.
Interflora seem to provide a good service for this type of thing.

For £45 or £50 a nice looking floral arrangement can be delivered to the funeral parlour.
If anyone has suggestions for suitable wording for the accompanying card I would be very grateful!
I will co-ordinate this.
If anyone would like to contribute to this please PM me and I will give you details of how to provide funds.
Any excess monies will be donated to a charity - I will get in contact with Alan's daughter and ask her views on a suitable charity.

Very nice idea Jerry and count me in as discussed.
I didn't know Alan, but its sad when anyone passes. Condolences to family and friends. Sounds like a nice guy.
