Loving husband of Mary Margaret for 33 years. Honoured father of David, Michael and Christopher. Will be sadly missed by his sister Ann Summerton (Michael), brothers Paul (Marlene) and John (Erika), as well as his nieces, nephews and many long-time, dear friends and colleagues. Alan loved people and loved being a mentor.
