Some messages from school friends: Alan you were one of the brightest, funniest and charming guys from one of the closest families I have ever known. Always proud of who you were and never one to shy away from expressing your thoughts and opinions. Your mischievious charm will be missed by all. RIP Sarah xxx Peace and love to you Al. Our loss is surely Heavens gain. My thoughts are with your loved ones......... Conrad Rowe That's really sad news. He was a laugh at school, certainly livened up many a dull history lesson or RE with his wicked sense of humour, and I always hoped to bump into him later in life. RIP Alan - Kieron Brennan
