I was very fond of Alan when we worked together at BG as part of the iconic 13T team which he contributed greatly with his fantastic sense of humour and work ethic.
Alan had a gift that even when things were tough was to lift the spirit and always make me smile.
My deepest condolences to Allison and family.
RIP Alan
See you in the next world.
