Alan was born and raised in Winnipeg, attending high school at Daniel McIntyre and Miles MacDonell, followed by the University of Manitoba.

Alan had a passion for sports his entire life, including golf, hockey, golf, baseball, and golf, and has been a member at St. Boniface Golf Club for many years. If he wasn't at work, and it wasn't raining, you usually knew where to find him.

I was so saddened to hear of your loss. I worked with Alan many years ago at Builder's Furniture and I remember him as being a very good natured man with a joke and a smile for everyone. He always spoke so proudly and lovingly of his son, so it's not hard to imagine the joy he would've felt at being a grandpa. Nor is it hard to imagine how much he will be missed. My thoughts are with all of you. - Posted by: cheryl johnston (Co-Worker) on: Jul 08, 2008
