Alan English

So sad Alan was lovely guy and became a friend from the moment I met him. May he rest in peace.

So shocked and saddened to hear of Alan’s passing. One of the nicest guys I had the pleasure of knowing. Will miss sharing funny stories online, and the long chats we would have when we met in the street, delaying us both but he always made time for a laugh. He will be missed by all who were lucky enough to have known him. RIP.

My deepest sympathy to you Mary and all of Alan's family, so shocked to hear of his passing. He was true gentle giant of a man. I'll miss his random what's app messages. Rest in peace Alan.

So sorry to hear of Alan's passing, many's a good time was had playing football with him at our phoenix park gatherings. R I P

I only met Alan one time but his care, friendliness and fun loving spirit is something that I will remember forever. Through a mutual friend, we chatted before my trip and we met each other and he went out of his way to make my stay with my daughter in Ireland one I will never forget and although it was a short visit, he impacted my life immensely. I will miss him and my thoughts are with his entire family and friends.

Deepest sympathies and condolences to Alan's family,friends and Mary. Alan was always a true gentleman when coming into the shop and we always loved having a chat with him. He will be deeply missed.

I have great memories of sitting around campfires with Alan into the small hours at our Dad's camping weekends. He was a great guy to have around always full of chat and banter and the inside scoop! Really saddened to hear the news. He will be greatly missed. Condolences to Sophie and all the family.

I was indeed shocked by the loss of Alan, my most senior cousin. We frequently connected on my visits home and was always caring as to how my side of the family were. His caring nature was obvious. I will remember the flaming red hair of his youth, his always smiling face ( looking down at me ;) and his stories of adventure. Big loss to all who knew him, I’m sure. It certainly is to me. My deepest, heart felt condolences to Mary and children, his mother Betty and siblings all.

I was privileged to meet Big Al through Wednesday night football. He is one of the wisest and funniest people I have ever met. His memory will live on. Our sincere condolences to Mary, Hazel, Jake and Sophie.

Sincere condolences to all. Rest in peace Alan.

Some people brighten up the world by just being in it. Alan always struck me as one of these people, with his big smile and booming presence whenever I saw him. It is with great sadness I heard of his untimely death. My thoughts go out to Mary, Hazel, Jake and Sophie and the English family. I wish you comfort in this very sad time.

To Mary and the family we can only offer our deepest sympathies. Alan was one of the rare people who make you feel better every time you were in his company. From the early days back in Blessington Street to our final adventure in Frankfurt last year, he brought a special magic to any encounter.

Deepest sympathies to Mary, Hazel, Jack, Sophie and all of Alans family. Such sad news to lose a great guy like Alan. He was a terrific friend back in the scouting days in 1st Dublin and always a pleasure to meet again on any of the catch up's or chance meetings we had. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam.

It was with great sadness we learned of Alan's sudden passing. A real friendly gentleman, always willing to share his stories. May he rest in peace. Thinking of the family at this difficult time.

We are deeply saddened to learn of Alan's passing. Alan coached Eoin in soccer for a number of very happy years. As a parent I will always be grateful to Alan for the time and patience he devoted to Eoin and his Team. We all had great fun through the wins and losses. However, regardless of the result, Alan was only focused on the kids, their development and their happiness playing a sport we all love. We are sorry we can not be there today to offer our support. I do hope however that knowing Alan had such an impact on so many kids lives and that he will be fondly remembered brings you and your family some comfort today and for the future.

My condolences to Mary, Hazel, Jake and Sophie on Alan’s passing. Alan with his larger than life personality, mischievous smile and witty comments was such a vibrant and positive presence in Dublin 7 Educate Together school community. He will live on in our memories of him and in all his school photographs taken over the years.
