Awful to hear this - always liked meeting up with Alan - a total gentleman and a real rover man.

Condolences to friends and family

It is with great regret that I must advise you that Alanjay (Alan Hester) has passed away in Farnham Hospital following a Cancer related illness, with multiple complications, lasting 18 weeks.
I have visited him on a weekly basis, since late November at Guildford and Farnham Hospitals. From January onward I collected some of his neighbours from Merrow and took them to see him. Our last visit was on Thursday with his friends Fred and Hilda. Bit surprised to see Alan was surrounded by large Oxygen bottles due to fluid build up on his lungs. He was hoping to return to his Flat today with an NHS funded carer 24/7. He was aware he only had six weeks left and wanted to spend that time in his home at Merrow.

My wife Sheila took a call this morning from Alan's sister Linda to let me know the news so I could advise his friends at our Heckfield meet this morning.
Fred also called me this afternoon to confirm I was aware of the situation. He said Alan's brother David saw him at 8.30 a.m. last night but was called back at 10.00 a.m. and Alan had already passed.
Fred understands Alan will be Cremated at Aldershot Crematorium, When I have the details I will post them on this thread.

I also think we should take our hats of to a true gent like yourself for visiting Alan and keeping us all posted.especially going to the trouble to transport his neighbours etc as well,I probably speak for many on this forum were all likeminded on the whole and love these cars,the forum to me is like extended family with a knowledge of wealth and support as did you for Alan,so as an individual I thank you for the sad but informative news and wish you all the best for the future thanks again matt
