It is with great sadness that I leave my condolences for a work colleague from a far. I was lucky enough to have worked with Alan and his family at Linen House AU. I found Alan to be a very kind and friendly man with great knowledge for the business and great love and passion for his work. He always had a smile on his face whenever I got to catch up with him. I send my heartfelt condolences to the Morrissey family and hope they find comfort knowing he lived a good life and achieved so much and he will be greatly missed by all. Belinda Papanikolaou

To My Dear Friend Alan, You have been one of my best business friends over 25 years. I have learned from my years’ experience you are a trustworthy person, a true friend, as well as a man of integrity. At this moment I couldn’t help recalling our days being together. To do business We traveled a lot in China, to Yantai, to Wei fang, to De Zhou, to Shanghai. Sometimes trips could be quite long. We would sit in a van for hours. We talked a lot of things. The topics involved news, people, lifestyle, traditions, foods, sports, culture, etc. We had so much in common though we came from two very different backgrounds. Of course, there had been a lot of laughters when they came from humor and funny things. We always enjoyed our trips together! Although you are no longer with me, you will forever live in my heart.

Dearest Alan, Over the years, it was always lovely to catch you at the odd Morrissey-Lo get-together, I have fond memories of family dinners out and of course, Craig and Larina’s wedding. You would always go out of your way to put everyone at ease by taking a keen interest in everyone’s lives, enquiring how we were, what we thought about various topics and sharing your perspectives on world happenings. Always ready at the table with a joke or a witty anecdote, you didn’t miss a beat on the punchline. I always remembered you as warm, kind and attentive. It was as though whoever you were speaking with garnered your full attention. I always felt I would undoubtedly learn more about life just through listening of your stories you so generously shared with us. I’ll be carrying the memory of our last chat from two weeks ago, in the years to come. In a fortuitous unplanned afternoon hang, I was stoked to learn more snippets from your life… that time you scored front row seats with one of your boys to a rugby game, where the All Blacks ended up losing terribly, or how you much preferred watching a cricket match to an AFL game, despite the constant encouragement from your mates in Australia! It was magical seeing Bradley and Joshy with their Grandpa Alan, learning to roll a toy ball back and forth with you, hearing your observations of them and their quirky baby behaviours. I’m grateful that Aria requested you to sit with us, and listen to an Elmo Headspace meditation. I think she wanted to share one of her favourite things with one of her favourite people. I know you felt the love that day, and I’ll be sure to remind them of this special memory when they are older and ask about their Grandpa. Rest easy. Thank you for sharing your light with us - we will all miss you so much. (Aunty) Suzy x

To my favourite uncle Alan, You really were such a special person – I hope you knew how much people loved you and how valued you were. You were so knowledgeable about everything, gobbling up information and thinking it through to form interesting views and ideas – about the share market, about politics, about sport... You were genuinely interested in people and listened, engaged and understood people - remembering the latest hobby, the papers being taken at uni that semester, the occupation of partners... A specific memory – talking by the pool in Koh Samui, being convinced that business consulting would be a great fit for me and it was. You were kind and encouraging – acknowledging small achievements that perhaps hadn’t been acknowledged by others and by doing so adding a bit of brightness to their day or week or year. You were cheeky, loved to laugh and to rark up Sue or the boys. You loved the ocean, first in last out always…even on the last swim we shared. Thank you Alan, for your generosity and care, I will miss you. Gina
