It is with great sadness we announce the sudden passing of Al on Dec. 24 at his home in Abbotsford. He leaves to mourn his mother Ellen and stepfather Mike of Delta, many nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles. He was pre-deceased by his grandparents. He will be greatly missed and never forgotten by his finance Dana and her daughter Cameron as well as Darcy, Sydney and Katana to whom he was a great friend. He was always there with a positive attitude and a cheerful smile when a helping hand was needed. We were blessed by his gentle caring nature, his giving spirit, thoughtfulness and his sense of humor. He was always appreciative of what others did for him. Al loved hockey and was a great Canuck's fan. We are left with many special memories and are comforted in our loss by the fact that he had a strong faith. We know he is enjoying the presence of his Eternal Father in Heaven. To his Friends: If you knew Al you knew what a great guy he was.
