Rosemary and family, thinking of you. Please accept my sincere sympathy on the death of Alan.

Sincere condolences to Rosemary and family.

Although it has been some time since I last met him as I now live in England, my memories of him are still strong in particular, my first summer camp with the 3rd Stillorgan Scout Troop in Dundalk (1968), his explanation of the "facts of life" in his own inimitable style and New Years parties playing charades.

Alan you will never be forgotten.

it is with great sadness I read of Alan’s accident .my deepest sympathy to his dear wife and family grandchildren and to Terry and Wendy .I extend my deepest sympathy I lost touch with Wendy ‘ I have many memories of Alan always smiling when he was small

Sincere condolences to Rosemary and family . I worked forAlan in Dickson's he was a kind and generous boss Always in good form Rest in peace Alan.

Deeply saddened to hear of Alan's untimely passing. I will always have fond memories of Alan especially the times he would take Karl and I down to Wicklow to cut our own Christmas tree's. My sincerest and deepest condolences to Karl, Rosemary, David, Laura and all the Rice family. May he rest in peace.

I only met Alan a couple of times on his visits to Warsaw to meet his son and my good friend David but even from those brief encounters it's easy to agree with other condolences here about his friendliness & generosity. You can't beat good company. Sincere condolences to David, his Mam, Laura, Karl & the rest of the family.

Condolences to the Rice family on your sad loss,
On hearing of the accident and the road closure, we braced ourselves wondering who was involved.

My condolences to his family and the many friends he left behind. Alan was a true gent and would light up the room with his mere attendance. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. May you rest in peace Alan.

Alan will be missed. Above all what will be missed is his sense of real humor and the freely giving of his time to people who didn't know they needed it. I am grateful for having known Alan, for the time we spent together, for the laughs, for the weekend fishing trips and most of all for the happy memories. “Some people come into our lives and leave footprints on our hearts and we are never, ever the same” - to me that's Alan. Alan was always both a very kind and gentle man. Sincerest sympathies to all his family and friends. To Alan - we'll catch the one that got away in the next life :-). Alan will be greatly missed, may he RIP.

Our sincerest condolences Rosemary and all the family on the tragic loss of Alan. He was a gentle giant with a big heart and will be sadly missed by all.
Rest in Peace Alan

Deeply Saddened on hearing of Alan's Passing. He was a true gentleman & a great boss. I have many fond memories of my years in Dixons.
Thinking of Rosemary,David,Laura & Karl at this extremely difficult time.
RIP Alan

When I first met Alan I was fresh out of nappies and very wet behind the ears. Alan was larger than life and had the patience of a saint. When I think of Alan I cannot even find the words to tell you how much he meant to all of us. Alan could scoop up a room and positivity just flowed from him. If anything was off kilter Alan jumped in and set it right again. Any scout from 3rd Dublin Stillorgan that spent any time with Alan owes him a debt of gratitude for everything he taught us. Living overseas at times like this stirs the memories of ringing Alan and Scully as soon as the wheels hit the runway in Dublin. We would corral the lads and ensure that we carved out some old scout time. One scout told me that good friends pick up where from we left off as if there were no long gaps between visits.
Rosemary, you know how much Alan meant to Jackie. Alan was a rock in the stormy seas and showed her that not all men are cut from the same cloth. Yesterday I found myself staring at an email Alan sent me to confirm that he had settled her estate, followed her wishes, and to help her two sons cope with their new normal—now we are struggling to do just that. We owe him such heartfelt gratitude for sharing. We can’t thank you and Alan enough for the time that you both gifted with selfless and caring hearts. So, without seeking anyone’s permission, 3rd Dublin Stillorgan salutes one last time. Alan, thank you for being a great friend we already miss you and you will always be in our hearts.

Sincere condolences to Alan’s family and friends. May he rest in peace.

So sorry to hear your sad news Laura, Kiama, Charlie and family. We are thinking of you at this very difficult time. Deirdre, Stuart, Sadhbh, Orna & Daire.

To the Rice Family,
Deepest sympathies for the sudden passing of Alan.

Rosemary and family sending sincere sympathy on the tragic loss of Alan. He was a great boss always in good humour and made us laugh every day I think often of the fond memories we had back in the days in dixons.
RIP Alan

Rosemary, David, Laura,Karl, and Alan’s, apple of his eyes his grandchildren, I can’t convey the terrible loss we feel at the sudden death of a gentleman and great sailing friend over generations. Ouzel and Dreamcatcher will never be the same.

Deepest sympathy to all the Rice family
We had the pleasure of knowing Alan since his Dixon days
A true gentleman May he rest in peace

A terrible shock, a terrible loss. Fortunately we still have great memories of game fishing sorties, off shore cruising, early morning breakfasts together in Dixon’s, and social occasions.
Rosemary and family, rest assured that you are in our thoughts and prayers. He was a big man with a big heart.
With love from David and Barbara Browne

Our deepest sympathies to Rosemary and the Rice and McCartan families on Alan's passing.

Alan, like you Rosemary, was like family to us. A bright, warm, funny, larger than life character who had a great take on life. I’ll never forget Alan bringing David when he was very young on a 3rd Dublin Stillorgan Easter camp at Powerscourt. He was such a brilliant dad. It is impossible to express my deep shock and sadness at his untimely death. There were few men who did as much good as Alan. He had a positive, adventurous, can-do, practical approach to life and quietly helped so many in big and little ways, never expecting or asking for anything in return. He will be celebrated in story and memory for decades to come. May the love and esteem that so many hold for Alan bring you all some comfort. Deepest condolences to dearest Rosemary and family.

Rosemary so very sorry for your loss.

So sorry to hear about Alan deepest condolences to you and your family may he Rest In Peace

So shocked and saddened to learn of Alan's so tragic and untimely passing, our thoughts and prayers are with you all. We have known Alan as one of life's true gentlemen since '95 through a mutually close and dear Bray friend and we share your great loss. We shared Alan's passions for cruising Irish coastal waters and ports, for good company and of course for the pure joy of the open road, whether one or two up, may you rest in peace friend. William & Joy
