Dear Sue and family, on behalf of the ex Regular Force Cadets of Hudson GC Class I send our condolences. Allan’s passing comes just three weeks before we get together again in Waiouru to mark the 40th Anniversary of our lives being forever changed by joining the NZ Army as RF Cadets. Allan will forever be remembered as a good natured, big hearted and humerous man who excelled at his job. He will be sadly missed.
