In celebration of the life of Alan Vickers. Alan was born in Yorkshire England on February 18, 1951. Married to his loving wife, Maureen, on June 24, 1972. Proud father of Paul, Simon, Adele and Mandy, and beloved grandfather of Jarrid, Molly, Alexander, Maxine, and step-grandfather of Ben and Ethan. Immigrated to Canada in 1981 to establish a better life for his family. Alan commenced his career as an apprentice maintenance engineer with David Browns Tractors in Meltham, Yorkshire in 1967. Since 1982, Alan has been a loyal and dedicated employee of 3M Canada at the Perth tape plant. What started as parental interest in his children’s life, Scouting quickly evolved into a lifelong passion. Alan has been actively involved at all levels of Scouting in Perth for the past 26 years. He will be missed by the community, his friends, his family and his wife. A dot surrounded by a larger circle is a universal trial marker symbol meaning "End of Trail �" Gone Home”. Some feel life itself is best described as a trail, for it has a beginning, and end, and many turns and bends along the way. The gravestone of Lord Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the modern Scouting movement, bears this symbol.
