Allan will be greatly missed by so many in our community, his enthusiasm gained him a coveted Community Spirit Award in 2023 following his regular support for Rock the Pier. e natural response might be to feel sad and perhaps be tearful at the death of this community icon. However for anyone who knew Allan, this was not his way. Laughter and enjoyment and a celebration of life coupled with his favourite phrase “Just get on and do it” would be much more appropriate. Hence all his friends and colleagues at the Hythe Shed would say to everyone who knew Allan, rather than sadness and tears, let us remember him with laughter, maybe raise a glass, and celebrate the life of this amazing man and remember what he brought to the lives of so many members of the Hythe community. He will never be forgotten, not least for steering Hythe Shed to be No. 2 in the United Kingdom Men’s Shed awards this year at the House of Commons. We will keep his memory alive as the Shed continues all the community work and projects he instigated.
