Dear Judith and family,
We were so saddened to hear of Alan’s passing.
While we didn’t know Alan as well as Mum and Dad did, we always had enormous admiration for the life he built. From our perspective, he created a remarkably successful business from humble beginnings, yet remained grounded, deeply connected to the Mildura community, and highly respected by those around him. He was clearly a devoted husband, father and family man, and it was obvious how much he was loved.
Our thoughts are with you and your family at this very sad time. We are sure that Mum and Dad, Pat and Bob, would have been among the first to sing Alan’s praises and celebrate the wonderful person he was.
With our deepest sympathy,
Phil & Tracey
Geoff & Geraldine
Bruce & Anjie
Ian & Jacquy
and our extended families
Grant Maynard
I will remember him as a big man with a big heart and a well-developed sense of humour. Rest in peace Alan.
Jane Ventur
Rest in peace, Alan. You have had a great life and you have raised a great family with a wonderful wife.
All my love, your niece, Jane
