AlanRIDEHALGHof Mallard Place, Oswaldtwistle, passed away in the Royal Blackburn Hospital, on Wednesday, January 6, aged 82. Born in Clayton-le-Moors, he attended All Saints School and Clayton Council School. Alan was a milkman for Oswaldtwistle Dairies for many years, before starting a family taxi business in Oswaldtwistle, which he ran for many years in the 70s and 80s. Following retirement from full time work, Alan continued in his passion for driving and meeting the public by becoming a volunteer for the North West Ambulance Service. Alan has many hobbies and interests, including ten pin bowling for over 50 years, in which he was a regular competition winner in Lancashire and further afield. A lifelong Burnley FC fan, he held a season ticket at Turf Moor for over 60 years, sitting in the same seat at each game since 1974, and travelling far and wide to watch the Clarets. He also had a love of sport in general, including snooker and horse racing, and loved a trip to the bookies to place his weekly flutter. Alan enjoyed many holidays, especially to Malta, a place he loved with a passion, and made many friends. He also loved animals, and kept Jack Russell terriers most of his adult life. Alan was loved and will be missed by many; a real character in the Oswaldtwistle area, always stopping for a friendly chat, especially about football. He leaves sons Derek and Paul, daughter Katherine, grandsons Alec, John and Kevin, and families. A Celebration of Life service will take place on Friday, January 22, at 10.20am at Accrington Crematorium Chapel, followed by burial at Dill Hall Cemetery at 11am. Due to current restrictions, only family and invited mourners may attend. Family flowers only, however donations will be welcome for Accrington Blind Society c/o funeral director Hyndburn Funeral Services.
