Anglers' Net Has Lost A Friend

[Leon Roskilly]

I'll always remember him fondly as the guy who caught mullet on chicken sandwiches.

 

My thoughts now are with Sonja.

Like wise I never met Alan but always found what he had to say on here to be of use or be thought provoking.

 

As many have said, Alan was so trusting, when I got a set of disgorgers from him he sent them before he could have got the cheque, let alone cleared it. Every time I use one of them now a little thought will go to you.

 

Love to Sonja, take care

Good Night Alan

Alan was always ready to help a fellow angler, and the courage he displayed throughout his illness and treatment was an example to us all.

 

We will miss you Alan, but at least you are beyond pain now.

 

Our sincere condolences to Sonja, his family, and his many friends.

 

We have lost a Brother Angler - it hurts.

 

Dave and Norma

Goodbye my friend you will be sadly missed. Thank you for touching on so many of our lives.

 

Catch up with you at a later stage mate,make sure you have got the beers in.

 

Will say a prayer for you and your family RIP

I also never actually met Alan in person, but his generosity & kindness touched me.

 

One of life's true gentlemen, we can all learn a lot from people like Alan.

 

My best regards & deepest sympathy go out to the family he has left behind, it must be a huge loss.

Very sorry to hear this sad news my thoughts and prays go out to Sonja. I met Allan and Sonja one lovely morning at Chrisp place, they made us coffee and we chatted about fishing whilst sat in the early morning sun. A good memory of a brief encounter with a lovely person.

I know Alan drived a lot of strength from this group when he was still able to post. When the dust has settled maybe one of the posters closer to Sonja could contacted her re us all clubbing together at AN and providing something from us all - Not really making sense as a bit all over the place on hearing this even thou it was expected but I think everybody knows what I'm trying to say

Good idea Davey I think Norrie will probably speak with her later, he's probably the best man for the job.

RIP Alan
