Title: Alan Jenkins Post by: dkcrooby on March 29, 2013, 05:09:12 PM Hi all,
Alan passed away this morning. When I read him all the messages from everyone who posted one, he told me how great it was to hear them as usually they're only read out once someone has already gone. They meant so much to him. He was taken way far too soon but at least he's no longer in pain.

He was a passionate detectorist, did a lot with schools and the museum. He used to talk fondly of his daughter and granddaughter hope they are ok in these sad times.

Title: Re: Alan Jenkins Post by: Phil Aberaman on April 10, 2013, 05:59:19 AM It Is with great sadness this morning i hear of Alan,s passing.
I met Alan years ago after seeing a piece in the the Rhondda Leader about the RARE metal detecting club. From the very moment i met him,his passion and dedication for Detecting was totally infectious, and we spent many hours chewing the fat. Alan will be remembered for his numerous displays at the Pontypridd Cultural Museum, radio and TV appearances, organizing events to encourage youngsters into Detecting through the Museum and who can forget Alans seasonal job as Pontypridd,s Man in red himself Father Christmas. Alan,s family paid a major part in his life and im sure he will be deeply missed. God bless Alan. |
