We both had the great pleasure of interacting regularly with Al at the HSC Print Shop in the 1980’s. Just a lovely man, always easy to deal with, unflappable, solution-oriented, great smile. Our sincere condolences to Al’s family on the loss of this very good man. - Posted by: Richard & Karen Howell (HSC Colleagues) on: May 18, 2025

My deepest condolences to the Sarna family. I worked at the Health Sciences Centre at the same time Al was there and had some very heartfelt conversations with him. He was always a wealth of information and would answer any questions that came up regarding any print job that needed to be done and took the time to explain. Rest in Peace Al, you will be missed. - Posted by: Bernie (Previous co-worker) on: May 05, 2025

Deepest sympathy to the Sarna family. I worked at HSC while you Dad was at the print shop, as I worked across the street from their office. We were good friends. He will be missed. - Posted by: edna edwards (friend from HSC) on: May 03, 2025
