So sorry to heat of your passing Allan. You were a true gentleman and will be remembered with great fondness. Playing again for my beloved Pa. Deepest sympathies to Margie, Stella and Hayley. And much love to our dear old Peg. Love "Big" Mel and family.

Al I loved listening to rehearsals from our home across the street. Your love of drums was so great to hear. You used to say to me as we passed in the street " Sursum Corda" from our Haileybury days. It means 'Lift up your hearts' and your music did.

Dear Al,
From our first meeting on that Sunday night at Jazz Centre 44 to your last gig at Benetts, we have shared 50 plus years of a wonderful friendship. May your spirit continue within me.
With love from John Scurry.

Allan, you were the first one to introduce me to the world of Jazz & percussion. Your drums were the first I'd ever played and I was in love!
Thank you to you, Margie, Hayley & Stella for your wonderful friendship and encouragement over the years!
Rest in Peace my friend, free from pain and suffering.

you showed me so much about what music was about while we bumbled about at school - still trying to work it out even now - such a gentle soul and so wickedly funny when you wanted to be - sorry I missed catching up in the last few years - there is lesson there for all in our vintage - don't think about it - do it!

So many good memories, from the Caterina Cabaret in St Kilda via a hundred dance halls to Bennett's Lane. Clever, funny, naughty, and so talented. Tears in my eyes for you Al, there's a lot of 'Onions' up there now. Here's to making the most of a second chance. Hugs & applause.
