BEALE, Alan Richard. Passed away suddenly 1st September. Highly regarded and respected member of Protective Paints Ltd for 27 years. His wisdom and knowledge of all things involved in the manufacture of paint and coatings was legendary. Long time friend and neighbour of Anne Peacock for 28 years. A kind and gentle person who was more than happy to talk with staff, reps, customers and suppliers to help in any way. "Talk to Mr Beale" was our mantra. He always had the answers. Secret "snack giver "to the resident four legged hairy ones who loved him to bits. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. A service for Alan will be held at the Papatoetoe Funeral Cottage, 34 Kolmar Rd, Papatoetoe at 11am on Saturday 13th September.
