In memory of Alan from the entire team.

I first met Alan in 1998 when I arrived at Castlemilk Fire Station as a naive, trainee firefighter. He let me find my feet before looking out for me in his own unique way, much like an older brother .
He helped me immensely with his wealth of experience, knowledge and encouragement.
We discovered we had some mutual friends and similar music tastes which led to many enjoyable and informative music discussions, although I still remember the look of disdain when I brought back a first generation iPod from America , “that will never catch on.… you can’t replace vinyl “. He wasn’t completely wrong … I purchased a new turntable recently and began collecting vinyl records again, now how would Alan organise these I ask ?
Alan was all in with everything he did and frustratingly good at most….. pool , poker and an agile goalkeeper too. I think my lack of a “poker game face” cracked him up a few times .
His love for his family shone through and I remember how cool I thought it was seeing him side stage with Pauline , Emmeline and Poppy at his daughters first gig … the iconic Fugazi at The Garage !
I will miss Alan’s humour , loud laugh and gleeful glint in his eye … especially evident when he took a few unsuspecting crew members outside of their comfort zones with his controlled abandon style of driving .

To a true Gentleman, Rest In Peace Alan

I had the privilege of knowing Alan firstly as a Firefighter (whilst detached to Castlemilk). Secondly as a Fire Brigades Union Official (we shared an office) and lastly as a dear friend.
As a Firefighter, Alan ensured those in peril or needing assistance received it quickly and professionally. This approach was equally adopted during his time as a Fire Brigades Union Official. As an official Alan held various posts and represented the membership with some great success however it was during his spell as the Fairness at Work representative that Alan,in my opinion, delivered some outstanding work on behalf of those with disabilities.
Lastly as a friend, Alan was a joy to be with. He was loyal, faithful and such wonderful company. He had a wide range of subjects he was passionate about including music, film, rugby, Greece and his family who he loved devotedly.
There was never a lull in the conversation when we met up.
Time passed quickly as we chatted about anything and everything. Whether it was by phone, in a bar or quite often the aisles of Asda, one constant remained...at the end of the meeting or chat I left with a smile on my face.
Alan was a wonderful, delightful, caring and witty man and will be sadly missed not only by me but also by those that knew him and loved him.
Rest in Peace Alan.

I worked alongside Alan from 2011 until he retired. I always enjoyed listening to his many gig stories and his love of Greek food. Alan also took on the role of my driving mentor which will also be greatly appreciated. That big loud laugh will live on in memory.

You’ll be missed Alan x
