I have the very sad news to say that AlanG or Al sadly died on the 14th of July following a accident

I had a email from Rachel his wife a few minutes ago. This is very hard to do as I had regular email chats with Al.

Upset is not the word.
 
That is sad news indeed, my condolences to his family:disappointed2:
 
Totally sad news indeed. Please send my deepest sympathy and condolences to the family, Bob...

Allen
 
What a shock!
I only had a 'chat' with him a short time ago.

Awful news.
Send my condolences to his family and thanks for letting us know, Bob. That must have been tough for you.....
 
Such sad news and such a shock. My thoughts are with his family. Thank you Bob for letting us know.
 
Oh my God..... I had many exchanges with him during my time here and came to regard him as friend.....I only sent him a PM yesterday.

Without going into unnecessary detail, do you know what happened?

Please pass on my condolences to his family.

Hi Ron, very true. We had regular chats over a few yrs always putting world and modelling to rights. Huge shock and so tragic.

What a tragedy I have no words. My deepest condolences to his wife and family.
 
Shocking news. But thanks for letting us know. RIP Alan.
 
Admittedly I knew very little about Alan but it’s always sad to loose one of our fellow modelling brothers :sad-face:

Rest in peace Al…

Oh, wow, that sucks. It’s the kind of news that makes you realise you hadn’t seen him on in a while, but that this is the reason is a bit of a shock :sad:

Did he ride a motorbike? I know (from searching the forum) that he was considering buying a 125 cc one some years ago, and used to own some in the past, but I can’t find if he actually owned one now. The reason I ask is because, trying to find out what happened, the main accident I can find in Scotland for 14 July 2024 is one involving a Yamaha Tracer, whose 52-year-old rider died — which sounds like it could be our Alan :sad:

Hello Jakko. I'll be straight with you, your post was reported. Many are in shock and saddened to read about Alan. So it's probably not a good idea to speculate on how this sad event occurred.

On a personal note, I have a lost a good friend. The chances of us ever meeting were properly zero. Me being in Cardiff and Al way up north in Inverness.

He sent me a lovely message after mum passed, that was the measure of the man.

RIP Al I for one will miss him and a lot.
