 | | R.I.P Alan McDermott 1946-2024 updated |
| | Harry Bannister emailed us with the sad news of Alan's death.
I’ve just found out that my old pal Alan McDermott Mac has passed away after being diagnosed with cancer a couple of years ago. We both came out of our time in Pioneer in 1966 but Mac transferred to Turret in the late sixties and subsequently left the GPO, as was, in 1979 to work for various telecomms companies in the Middle East and Asia developing their training programmes.
I’ve no funeral details as yet but given he ended up living near Scunthorpe and working for Ericsson’s Telecommunications, I don’t see a massive demand from colleagues to attend his funeral, but should anybody wish to send their condolences or attend the funeral then get in touch with Graham Whiteside and he’ll forward your requests to me and I’ll get back to you.
Best wishes,
Harry
Information update:
There will be a delay to the funeral due to the requirement of a postmortem.

Many memories of Alan on Pioneer Patrol in the late 1960's singing rugby songs while waiting for faults on the Patrol phone!
R.I.P. Alan. |

Sad news, last saw Alan at Al Jone's funeral. Great time to be a young engineer in Pioneer Dalton with characters like Alan et al, great learning curve. |
