Recently I posted in relation Alan Victor Dwyer, who I served with a Campsie and Lakemba back in the late 70,s and early 80,s. Alan and I were also close mates outside the job. My family and his spent many outings together. Alan died today at abot 8am, at Nepean Hospital, after a short but uncomfortable , battle with throat cancer. The Cancer spread to his leg and other locations on his body. I have no idea of funeral arrangements. I am in contact with his wife, Narelle. I will post any further info when it comes to hand.

Bill Davies – 20 April 2017
Not even 12 months ago, I met up with Alan Dwyer, to celebrate his 80th Birthday. He looked, moved and spoke like a bloody healthy 50 year old. Unfortunately now I have to report that Al is not doing so great. In fact, things have turned pretty Sh$%y for him. Al has cancer. He now has a trachy. He cannot speak and has trouble breathing, due to congestion on his lungs. The outlook is not great. I know many in our group , know Alan. I have spoken with his wife, Narelle, who has agreed to let me now tell of his plight. Al is in ICU, Nepean Hospital. Visiting from 11am. 2 persons at a time. Narelle tells me he perks up when he has a visitor. he communicates by writing on a board.
