Alan Martin (18 Jul 1961 - 28 Feb 2018)

You will be missed. A True Gent.

Ever since we met in the first year at secondary school I knew that Alan was a good bloke and someone whose friendship I very much valued. But it was only once he started his battle with cancer that I fully appreciated his other, deeper, qualities qualities of courage, compassion and generosity of spirit. We will miss him terribly.

Alan will be missed by all. His dry wit, his willingness to help, always in good spirits when often he felt ill. He was a true gentleman, enjoying a few beers back in day with lots of stories to tell. My condolences to all his family.

Thinking of you all x

I first met Alan at school in the early 70's but didn't get to know him until more recent years at our reunions. He was such a nice man and an inspiration to us all. Always thinking of others rather than his own issues. It has been a real pleasure meeting him again.
