Alan was the tenant above my shop, Chants DIY. He has been living up there for well over 25 years, in fact all the time I have traded on the avenue. Alan sadly passed away, aged 80, over the week end of October 30th.
He was a very private man who enjoyed nothing more then his daily pint (s) in The Avenue, where he was well known, and of course his garden and fish pond.
Ex Royal Navy and Merchant Seaman.
He has been the ideal tenant and a good friend to me over the years and I will miss him as I’m sure many more will in the area
I have no idea when the funeral will be as his son, Mike, is dealing with everything.
RIP matey.
Lovely tribute. RIP Alan.
