Except from the Transition Sooke Newsletter from May 2025 by Susan Belford
At the May monthly meeting a few days ago, Transition Sooke members shared what they miss and valued most about Alan…
Alan is the reason I’m here (in Transition Sooke) today.
Alan was a force of positive energy, compassionate and kind.
Even if he didn’t understand he listened and kept listening until he did understand.
He was a leader, an inspiration, an outstanding environmentalist, a caring friend, he is hard to let go of.
We see the benefits of Alan’s work, they are tangible.
He was “our rock” keeping us grounded.
He worked with us to create structures that aren’t bureaucratic but kept things in order while letting us be the unique organization that we are.
He and Susan were wonderful meeting hosts in their warm, open home.
He made incredible scones.
It is a gift to have known him.
