This site is a tribute to Alan Bird, loving husband to Sue, father to Rob and Anna and grandfather to Elias and Ezra, Ernie and Ruby.
He will be remembered for his life as a caring teacher, talented cricketer and hockey player and fair and encouraging umpire.
Above all he will be remembered for his dedication to and love of his family.
He is much loved and will always be remembered.
We would love to hear your stories and memories of Alan - please do leave thoughts on this page. They will be treasured.
We are requesting donations to Great Ormond Street Hospital, a cause very close to Alan's heart because they saved the life of our youngest grandson.
From Janis with much love and many happy memories.
Sorry that I was unable to attend the funeral for a man who was a great supporter of the game of hockey and who loved to attend quarterly lunches with other old players.
