The Office of the Ombudsman for the Defence Forces would like to offer our condolences to Alan's family, friends and DF colleagues.

Thank you for your service Sting.

To the Whelan family and all of Sting's friends and comrades.

I first met Sting a few years ago and we just hit it off. He was a total gent with a spark in his eye. A chancer too. Everything you want in a mate.

He was a great help to me and someone I could turn to when I had a question.

I'll miss him and his smile. I won't miss him crushing my hand when we shook hands!

Sleep tight mate. See you on the other side.

Brian
