Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, - Love leaves a memory no one can steal.
We enjoyed making memories with Alan, both in NZ, America & Spain.

Deeply saddened by Alan's passing. A dear friend and former colleague who always had answers-especially when it came to cars-long before AI. Your wisdom, humour and kindness will be missed greatly. Rest in peace.

Alan was one of the loveliest men we had the pleasure of being friends with. A wonderful companion, best friend and love of Jan´s life and a good role model for David when he was younger. Jan has been a friend from the mid 70´s. Although distance has separated us, we have always been in contact and seen each other when back in New Zealand.
Alan´s passing is going to weigh heavy for a long while. He will be so missed.
Rest in Peace friend.
