Tribute

Alan passed away peacefully in his home surrounded by family. He was born in Yorkshire, England and brought his young family to BC in 1966. He started working for BC Hydro as an electrician and later came to Powell River to work on the construction of the Kraft Mill. Alan and his family stayed in Powell River and he worked in the mill, mainly on the line crew, until he retired in 2001.

Alan was a dedicated volunteer fireman for 25 years. He loved his trips south to Arizona for the winter driving his big rig with trailer in tow.

Alan is survived by his life partner of 32 years Nellie Valentine, children John and Jill and granddaughter Britney.

Alan will be greatly missed by all who loved him.
