Alan, I don’t really know what to say because I thought this day would never come, you were meant to be here forever. I always looked at you like my extra dad and I thank you for all the time and patience you gave to me, even though Toni and I brought the chaos. Thanks for always letting me stay over and even welcoming me on family holidays, they were the best times. Rest easy now Alan and I’ll see you again another day, for now I hope you’re catching a wave while wind surfing in the sky. Love Gelfling xxx

Alan, you were a lovely man and a pleasure to know. Thank you for showing me kindness and sharing the mic with me on occasion. Will miss seeing and hearing your lovely voice. You have left behind a wonderful family and many friends who will miss you dearly. Party hard on the clouds!

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.

Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Smudger. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.
