It is with great sadness I must inform you
of the passing
of Alan Roi.
Alan was a long-standing Life Member of our
society and
has held
several
important
duties
throughout the
years often
doing a lot of
the behind the
scenes work to
keep the
society
functioning
efficiently,
most recently
acting as our
Secretary and
Records Clerk.
As those that knew Alan will be aware, he
was very
passionate and
knowledgeable
about a wide
range of
public
transport
including
trams, buses,
and was a
leading figure
in trolleybus
preservation
in New
Zealand.
Alan's passion and knowledge will be sorely
missed around
Ferrymead.
At this time there are no details on funeral
arrangements,
but we will
pass these
along when
they are
received.
My condolences to everyone.
Jonathan Day
President
Tramway Historical
Society
