Silver Shiney Posted April 17, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 17, 2017 This is Mrs Shiny here [Claire}. No idea if this is right place to put this message. It is with great sadness that I have to let you all know that Alan was rushed into hospital on Thursday with a brain hemorrhage and passed away peacefully at 22.00 on Friday 14th April. He often spoke to me about the things people posted on this forum, and I would like to stay in touch if you will allow me to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britboys Posted April 18, 2017 #15 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Please accept my condolences Claire. Losing the love of your life is so hard but hopefully you have friends and family to help you through this hard time. It is almost five years since I lost my partner of 26 years and I am so grateful to have had that support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixiebelle13 Posted April 18, 2017 #17 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I am reasonably new to the forum and not sure if I have spoken to Alan, but by the sounds of it he was very helpful and other posters have enjoyed chatting with him. I'm very sorry for your loss Claire and I'm sure everybody will be happy to hear from you. There are also some great on-line bereavement support forums you could join if you think it would help to chat in a similar way to others who know what you're going through. Take care and look after yourself x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis-The-Menace Posted April 18, 2017 #18 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Claire, I'm so, so sorry to hear about Alan, he was a real Gent and one of the nicest people I have ever come across on these forums. He was so supportive of the book I wrote a few years back too. He was one of the very first to read it and he immediately gave it such a lovely review on Amazon that he helped bring it to the attention of a much wider audience than I could ever have thought possible. I'm only sorry I never made it down to Bristol to share that beer we discussed so many times. My sincere condolences to you and the family Claire.
