It is with great sadness that a very good friend and mentor to many on this site and to the NZKA that Young Alan Wakelin has passed away.
He has had a hard battle with cancer in the past few months, and like the battler he is, was smiling all the way... always looking on the bright side of life
Alan... where ever you maybe now... keep breeding them killies
This is from Rose
"My darling Alan finally hung up his nets (he hated the term, passed over) last night, Tuesday 9th October, at 10-39pm, so peacefully. His battle so mightily fought and 1 day after his 66th birthday, and on the anniversary of his Mothers death, 35years ago. The children were here to share with me, his final breath, for which I am so grateful, as I would have been so frightened to have gone through this alone.
His Funeral will be on Friday 12th Of October at 2pm at the Whakatane Presbyterian Church , where we were married 43years 6 months and 13 days ago,Til death do us part."
