So sad to hear of Alan's passing. All of those whom he touched whilst serving as a teacher and Vice-Principal at Glengormley Primary School, remember him fondly and he will never know the memories and positive impact he has truly had on young people's lives.
A few already have shared their memories on our school facebook page.
This is a sad time for all who knew him within our school community and our hearts go out to Mary, their boys, grandchildren and all the extended family at this sad time.
Rest in Peace Alan and keep playing your bass in heaven with all those other wonderful musicians you will join there!

A wonderfully talented musician and a real gentleman.
