Phil and Matthew you both would have made your Dads day....brilliant tributes to a top guy! As has been communicated clearly by many people today, my brother and I were lucky enough to have some time spent with the ever patient Alan learning lots of practical skills and enjoying his company! Condolences to the Fairweather tribe from the Gormans. We are thinking of you all.

Although our lives were separated by many miles, the moments we shared will be treasured in our memories. You were lucky enough to have had the most amazing and wonderful life. Your generosity of information and kindness will remembered by so many far and wide. may you rest in peace in the knowledge that you have made a difference. RIP Uncle Paul. Xxx With love Mary, Liz, Greg, Sam & Jack and their families. Xxx

A beautiful service for a legend of a man, who forged the lives of more than he could ever could tell - mine included...my second Dad - love you Skipper/Alan

Softly falls the light of day, as the campfire dies away, Silently each one should ask, have I done my daily task, Have I kept my honour bright, Can I peaceful sleep tonight, Have I done and have I dared, everything to be prepared. Thank you Skipper
