Hi Joanne, I am forwarding you verbatim a text I have received today from Simon Keating— son of Dave Keating; a co-owner of ‘Roaring Forties’ : “ I have fond memories of time spent with Alan on Olive, and he played a huge part in keeping everything going with his expertise. An all round great person. I didn’t know his family but my thoughts are with them, and of him, and those great days together “. I heartily endorse Simon’s words. yours sincerely, Hedley Smith.

Grandpa you were our rock! Thank you for all the laughs we shared together. We will miss you so much love you always and forever xx
