Just heard that Alan passed away today. He had a stroke several years ago, and has had hesrt problems lately. Celebration of his life will be on Thursday in Townsville.

Loved his singing, and loved the man. He was one of the people who seemed like an old friend immediately after I met him.

Love and sympathy to Judy and Kathy.

I'm sorry to hear this. The Poms stayed with us during one of their trips to the UK and were all lovely people. My sympathy to Judy and Kathy.

Sad news indeed. I have added Alan to the "In Memoriam" thread. Wishing his family strength to face the future.

RIP

I had known the Pomeroys as performers and good friends in Australia and touring in the UK.

I was fortunately able to see Alan some days before he died, when he was in discomfort, but able to receive visitors although not speak. I was able to tell him how much I had enjoyed my times with him, including when the Pomeroys were staying at my home and filling it with life and laughter.

I also linked in to the live stream of the celebration of his life yesterday, held in Townsville. I hope that a video shown in it may be made available to those who knew them. I won't spoil it with description in that hope, but it epitomises how they were together.

Judy and Kathy looked after him with such devotion and cheerfulness, and deserve our appreciation and ongoing love.

Sorry to read this. I remember the family well, such nice people. Did the sound for them at the Sadfest when they appeared here some years ago.
