Para Alan update

I've been asked to put out a brief statement about what we know so far about Alan's death. As most of us know he had been unwell for quite a long time now, but just recently had not been coming out of his home. People have been nipping up there to make sure he was ok on a daily basis.
On the 27th there was no reply at the door the police were called and they found him in his bed. He had been dead for 24hours or less. The case has now been passed over to the British Consulate, and it's up to them to find any relatives. He did have sisters but no body knows of their whereabouts. It is hoped that they can be traced as we all hope he can have a proper service with his ashes scattered out at sea.

Hi Jackie, just seen the bad news about Alan, I'm so sorry. During my time in Lloret we were pretty good friend, as he was Colin's best mate. He was going out with Colin's sister (Pam)
He used to came round at 7 in the morning to go off ski-ing. When he was with Pook his next girlfriend we all drove down to Portugal for a holiday at the end of the season. He would keep me company when Colin was away. He was a good friend and we had some good times. I do regret not keeping in touch with people from Lloret. I came to the Costa Brava on holiday with my husband and our 2 children in 2003 and Alan took us out on the boat, it was great to see him and catch up brief though it was. But he ended his days in the place he loved. Love you Alan x
