That's very sad news indeed.
Alan was a long-term member on this forum, and sort of our eBay specialist. His posts were always clear and factual, not from a "softy", and generally full of good information. A personality.

The last time he posted here, must have been a week before he died. May he rest in peace.

PS: This is one of the uneasy aspects of the internet communities. Someone may get ill or even die, and you may only incidently hear about it - or never at all.
Indeed we have had a few more in the past, of rather active members who suddenly "disappeared". Or who said they were getting older and/or ill, and never posted after that. If we have no means to contact someone (except through the forum) we may never learn what happened. Sometimes it takes time before you realize you never see a post anymore of him/her. You just wonder what happened.
