Here today, gone tomorrow.


I look back through your old posts,


In an attempt to drown my sorrow.


All the laughter, I could borrow.





I never got the chance to meet you,


I think of all the great times we had,


They could of all been face to face


This makes me very sad.





Although I never met you,


There are moments I shall treasure,


And Every person who met you,


Told me it was a pleasure.





I’ll cry a tear for you tonight Al,


You was such an amazing guy,


Why you had to be taken from us,


I’ll always wonder why.












Rest in peace Alan, the forum will never be the same again, I wish we had all shared a room in the Blackpool weekend now, I missed out on a fantastic oppurtunity to meet you mate, I will never forget you.



Benni.

Very sad news, my thoughts go out to his family and friends who are left behind to cope with his loss.

May you rest in peace Alan, the pain is over. Sleep tight.

Benni I started to fill up reading that.

Agreed PF should send flowers or something as he was a valued member of the community and made many friends on here.

im gutted to be reading this.out of anyone al was one person i thought had the stamina to beat it
he was such a good fella,always upbeat and fun. my thoughts are with his family and his little girl.

he was looking into moving to colchester before he became ill.and i said i'd happily be there to show him about and go out for a few drinks to make him welcome.shame it didnt happen.

i know he will be up there watching over us all.well done al for the strong fight you put up.and we will see you on the other side buddy.
