TIGERS NEWS February 2006
Vale - Alan Muir
 The
Queanbeyan Tigers sadly announce the passing of one of nature's gentleman,
Alan Muir.
Alan
was the most incredible and respected person at the Queanbeyan
Tigers Club - his involvement spanning over 60 Years. Full details
of his history with our club can be gained by visiting our Wall
of Fame page
The last
photo of Alan ever taken was last Tuesday in his
restaurant (the Alan Muir Room) at the Tigers Club. It was posted
on this site (see following) just days before his untimely passing.
The Club
has forwarded its deepest sympathies to his son Ian, daughters Alison
and Susan and their respective families. Alan was part of if not the father
of an extended Tigers Family.
Alan's
funeral will take place on Wednesday 8th February 2006 from
10:30am at St Andrews Presbyterian Church in Forrest ACT and
thereafter at the Crematorium.
A wake
will be held at the Tigers Club during that afternoon.
The Club
would like our associates to wear a touch of black and gold if you
are attending Alan's funeral. Obviously there will be a massive
attendance due to his popularity.
We certainly
will miss "our friend". He was a fantastic gentleman, adored by "all
and sundry" and the greatest TIGER of all time.
As he
would say "Up the Tigers - Eat em Alive".
Editors
note: Members of the Muir family, Alan's many friends and former
work colleagues and his extended Tigers Football Club family
payed their last respects to Alan Muir at a moving service today, Wednesday
8th February 2006. Eulogies by Alan's son-in-law Malcolm Scholes and the
Tigers own legends Ron 'Chook' Fowlie and Brian Quade spoke about Alan's
love of life, his devotion toward his family and how he touched everyone
that he came in contact with, and of course his love for the Queanbeyan
Tigers. Back at the Tigers Club, at exactly 5.00pm a moving visual tribute
to the achievements of this great man was played - Alan Muir may no longer
be with us however his memory will never be forgotten.
