I Have created this memorial site in loving memory of a great bloke, a very close friend to my families and a much loved person to many people,
Alan Leyland.
Alan sadly passed away to soon, on the 25th August 2008.
Alan was a fantasic character who will be remembered for having such a good personality, a kind heart, a friend of many, he was a man who worshiped his family, he would help anyone and everyone.
In our home town Alan was well known as BIG AL, he was very popular due to his hobbie and his job as a kareoke man, he was very entertaining to his crowds. He was also my dads dear friend they have known each other for many, many years.
My dad will miss his loads.
Alan has a very good family who are hurting deeply, so i thought i would create this site for a man who was and will always be SOUND AS A POUND and will never be forgotten.
I am sending love to all to his family and friends and anyone who had the privilege of knowing Alan as his was a great man, it was an honour knowing you Alan.
R.I.P big al love to you forever
love becki ( Richard and Stella daughter)xxxxx
PLEASE LEAVE A FEW LINES OF YOUR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS, AND PLEASE LIGHT A CANDLE FOR A VERY SPECIAL MAN.
R.I.P 'BIG AL'
hey alan my best cousin. i was just thinking about you and thought i would write on here how much i miss you and your cheeky laughs that we used to have xxxx miss you loads cuz xxxxxxxxxxx sleep tight hun xxx
I have only recently been told of this tragic event by my mother who has been housebound for the last 2 years and is now out and about and meeting people again.
My father Joe Mangnall worked with Ted Leyland. 'The Mangnall's' used to visit 'The Leylands' in the 1960's (maybe 1966) when they lived in Atherton, I would have been 8 years old at the time. I remember Alan being really kind and gentle. His mother Eunice and their other 2 children Tommy and Irene. It would be lovely for anyone to get in touch who knows their contact details or just to bring me up to date. My email nigelpetersuk@yahoo.co.uk or 07930 345473. I believe since that Eunice has now passed away. My thoughts are with their family and friends.
