Tribute
Thurley In a tribute to
the late Alan John Thurley, CHRIS KEELING writes:
Many pharmacists with
connections to Boots The Chemists
will be saddened to learn that Alan Thurley died unexpectedly following
recent heart surgery. After qualification and national service, Alan
moved from his native Sussex to work in the retail staff department within
the head office of Boots The Chemists, where he held a series of key
roles until his retirement.
He was ever present, whereas others came and went, and the nature of
the man epitomised the ethos of the department. He was noted for his
kindness, common
sense, care and generosity, and many across the breadth of the company came to
know him and respect him deeply.
He was a consummate family man and with his wife Paddy, their home was “open
house” to many who had cause to come to the head office in Nottingham.
He was a talented and prolific potter and had a passion for all things mechanical
from vintage cars, motorcycles and clocks to lawn mowers and even stationary
engines. Within his village community, at various times, he was chairman of the
village hall committee, chairman of the governors, secretary to the parochial
church council and church warden.
In all, he enjoyed a full life. His many friends and the community will miss
him enormously and wish to offer Paddy and the family their sincerest condolences.
