Alan Roodenburgh

I have just received a call from Alan's wife, Debbie, to say that Alan passed away in his sleep this afternoon.

Alan was a colleague of mine for many years and when he left the firm a few years ago we kept in touch and we became good friends. I introduced him to our Saturday morning club rides and over the past couple of years Alan would ride with the off-road group, as he did this morning. I have spoken to Andy Pearce this evening to learn that Alan had an enjoyable ride and appeared in good health. The ride was shorter than normal and Alan did not fall. When he got home he saw Debbie and his daughter, took a bath, and had a nap on his bed from which he never returned. He was 54.
