Alastair Bain (24 Sep 1957 - 1 May 2023)

Lots of fond memories of drinking Port with Al in PJ's kitchen after an evening listen to music at The Compasses. Then he met his lovely Ali, and your time together was sadly ended by such a cruel disease. Thinking of you Ali and also Al's family.
Love Janice

Farewell dear Al so greatly missed by so many friends you have made in Surrey over the years.
Heartfelt sincere wishes to his wife Alison who cared for him through his tragic illness.
Rest in peace Big Al. Paul and Marian
