ALLAN DONNETT With sadness, Al's family announces his passing on Saturday, October 14, 2006, at the Charleswood Care Centre, at the age of 82 years. He is survived and will be lovingly remembered by his wife Thelma, sister Flo Peterson of Surrey, BC, sister-in-law Eileen (Bill), brother-in-law Bob, as well as nieces and nephews. Al served on the HMCS Blairmore during The Second World War and kept up with some of his shipmates until recently. Al was employed with the CNR as a pipe fitter for 43 ½ years. He was an avid sportsman and was inducted into the Winnipeg Sports Hall of Fame after winning the 1954 Dominion Championship with the Army Navy Scottish team. In accordance with Al's wishes cremation has taken place and no formal service will be held. In lieu of flowers, if friends so desire, donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba, 120 Donald Street, Winnipeg, MB R3C 4G2. The clock of life is wound but once, And no man has the power, To tell just when the hands will stop, Of what day or what hour, Now is the only time you have, So live it with a will, Don't wait until tomorrow, The hands may then be still.
