It’s always difficult to say goodbye.
Alan McCarthy and I were class mates at Marianist College in Frankston in the 70’s. Memories inevitably fade over time -I don’t remember when we met, or how we became aware of each other – none of that matters. I do remember that he was hopeless at maths, whilst I hated English – so we helped each other especially through ‘HSC’ as it was then. We were both keen students of history (WWII) and politics and many a night were spent playing games (anybody remember the “Escape from Colditz” board game) and drinking Kaiser Stuhl or Mateus Rose (yes, I can hear the groaning).
Thankfully both our tastes in games and wine improved over the years.
I know that over 40 years, Alan was a constant in my life and that of my family. He was a man of the highest level of honesty and integrity, devoted to Susie, his boys and granddaughters of whom he was intensely proud of.
Vale Alan McCarthy. I shall miss you more than I can express in these mere words.
