Alan. Sorry I only got to see you once at Clipstone. I did try again but was told it was not convenient. Then lockdown prevented any visits. I have some great memories of you at Newark and our evenings tug of war training and competing in competitions. Rest in peace.

In 1967 I started my service at Newark. Long before the days of ‘tutors’ and I was placed under the wing of Alan (always known as ‘Dan’). He was a pleasure to work with and a source of knowledge drawn from experience. He was a real character and a very nice man. Well respected both within The Job and by the public. R.I.P. Dan. Thanks for everything.

Will always remember Dan’s help when I moved to Newark as a young Bobby. Will miss his dry sense if humour.

Remember Dan starting at Newark, his final posting, and worked alongside him. He was a regular at the ‘Rec Club’ where he spent time recalling his service and was always a pleasure to listen to. Lovely man.
