Re: Alf Corbyn
I echo all posted previous. Regret my belated knowledge of his 'Crossing of the Bar'.
Sadly, there have been many, we know there will be more.
Condolences and memories are never enough but, help a little.
Sad. Keith.

Re: Alf Corbyn
Hi All.
I have been off line for a few days, imagine my shock when I logged on this morning and found that my old mate Alf had passed away. We used to pass emails to each other until he went into the home, Alf was a lovely bloke, I will remember him every day as the sticker he sent me is on the windscreen of my car, {MN The forgotten Service}and his photo is on my shelf.
My condolences to his family.
may he rest in peace, fair winds old mate.
Cheers Des.

Re: Alf Corbyn
Alf was before my time on this site and sadly I've never seen his post's, but after reading everyone's tribute's to him
it's easy to see what a popular and good bloke he was. No more pain, Rest In Peace Alf, God Bless.

Re: Alf Corbyn
Remember you telling me that Doc.
I had to ask you if you knew who would have sent it to me.
Alf had no message or return address on the package.
That was Alf for you.

Re: Alf Corbyn
He sent me half a dozen of the MN stickers and would not take anything for them, a generous man to be sure. His stories about his time as a truckie always brought a smile. RIP mate.
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
