Helpful, generous, hard-working, free-spirited, mischievous, hard-partying, humble, brilliant, unassuming, mentor, friend, prankster are just some of the words that have been used to describe the late Alan McClarty, also known as McClarts, who died at the beginning of this month in Lagos, Nigeria of complications caused by cerebral malaria. A South African memorial service will be held later this week, and Bizcommunity.com has also created a a tribute page in his honour. We invite all those who knew him to add their own tributes. We extend our condolences to his family, friends and colleagues. Rest in peace Simone Puterman (@SimoneBiz) Managing editor
