Alan Saunders celebrates his 90th Birthday

His wife Kath told The Ensign he still lived life to the full and maintained a keen interest in farming, despite retiring many years ago.

“And you can still find him playing his accordion which he started learning at 17,” Kath said.

“He has been playing it, and the piano, since his time with the Jack Jervasoni band back in the 1950s.

“Happy birthday Alan, from all your loving family.”
