Alan Rudkin (Passed away 3 Sep 2024)

Oh Alan……I’m so sorry I can’t say goodbye today xx
You were a man of many talents and such a wicked laugh xx
We had a lot of fun times and I am so lucky to have had the pleasure of not only knowing you but being able to call you my friend xx

Rest in peace Alan ….. until we meet again xx

Alan - you always lit up the room when you walked in with your positive energy, musicality, smile, humour & laughter. R.I.P. ❤️

Will miss you dreadfully and you will never be forgotten. Love JoJo

All the staff and patients at Colne Valley Group Practice would like to offer our sincere condolences to Alan’s family at this sad time. Alan brought so much joy to the Practice. His laughter and exuberance will be missed.

I remember vividly the day Alan waltzed into my office with Mary, for our very first meeting to discuss having a patient and staff choir. Both he and Mary were so passionate about their idea there was no chance I was going to say no and our first choir session was arranged for 1 month later.
Every Friday Alan would come with Mary and light up the room with his love of life and music. The choir touched so many people, patients and staff alike and I loved hearing the songs wafting down the corridor into the waiting room.
Thank you Alan for bringing so much joy to so many people. You will be sadly missed and will forever hold a special place in my heart.

Alan - such a talented musician and music therapist, and a truly beautiful colleague and friend. Alan touched the lives of so many with his generous heart and soul, and will forever be in our memory. With love and deepest condolences to all his family and friends.

I've just heard the sad news about the passing of Alan. I worked with Alan on the stroke rehab unit 10 years ago. I will never forget his smile, his fantastic voice and laugh, his passion for music and making a difference to people's lives. We shared many fun nights out and he was just such a joy to be around.
Rest in peace beautiful soul.

Alan was such a beautiful human! He was so positive and caring, and lived life to the full! I loved working with him, the weekly music group for our patients was amazing and I always went home in such a happy mood!
