2021 Summer Olympics Dionysos Memorial Club
Alan was a longtime member of GT who was originally from the UK, but moved to Cyprus after retiring from a business where he traveled all over Europe. He had a great sense of humor, enjoyed gardening and most of all, made beautiful mosaics, many of his own design. So in homage, I found a mosaic of the Olympic rings.
