Sorry to see that Al passed away. We will miss his smiling face at the gas station. Staff from Lake Country Husky.
Sad times to say the least. I am very sorry for your loss. The few times I had contact with Al was always a pleasure. A devoted man and one that will be missed.
I am sorry to hear Al has passed away, my condolences to Rosie and his family from Dave Hughes, Marge Hughes and Chris Hughes
I am terribly sorry to hear of Al’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with Rosie, Darryl, and Kandace. I remember with deep fondness the times we shared together camping, in Hope, and at the house in Surrey. Al was an awesome person. God bless.
We are sorry to hear of Al’s passing.
I remember when he was driving for Greyhound his uniform logo said Drive a Million Miles a Day. Al would say that was not just me – it is me and another guy! And then we would have a good laugh.
With love,
Bruce, Vicki, Uncle Ike and Aunt Helen

So many childhood memories!
Uncle Al was so involved in my family,camping trips, motorcycle rides and just being there as an alternative perspective to talk to. I will miss him, but the memories he left will last forever.

I love the spirit.
His mana flows through me.
