CLIFFORD DOMINIC ALEXANDER In Loving Memory Peacefully and after a lengthy illness, it is with deep regret that we announce the passing of Clifford "Daddy Canada" Alexander on Tuesday, August 6, 2013. He passed at his home at the young age of 78 surrounded in the loving embrace of his family. We will all miss him but know he is now at peace in God's loving embrace. Clifford is survived by (his former spouse) Sheila; children Gemma, Selwyn, Janice, Jeannette, Anthony, Anselm and Edward; 11 grandchildren; as well as by his 12 brothers and sisters: Leonard, Francis, David, Muriel, Ainsley (Fr. Patrick), Millie, Rueben, Lillian, Winston, Margaret, Anthony and Anne; extended family and friends. He was predeceased by his parents Ralph and Molly Alexander. Born in Grenada, Clifford moved to Trinidad with his family at age three where he grew up near the oil fields of LaBrea Pitch Lake area. He pursued a college education in England where he attained his City and Guilds Diploma in Mechanics. Clifford immigrated to Canada in the early 1970s where he raised his family. He worked at Neuls Springs and Chassis until his retirement in 2000. He was a member of the professional organization of the Grand United Order of Oddfellows. He sang as a longstanding member of the St. Charles Choir. Clifford was also a very active and productive member of the Council of Caribbean Organization and the Grenadian Association of Manitoba. He was until his death, a dedicated volunteer for Meals on Wheels of Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Clifford and I worked together at Neul's Spring & Chassis for about a year in 1981(?). I was Clifford's Mechanics Assistant for a good portion of that time, and learned a great deal from him, both in terms of Mechanical skills & shared views on life in General. Among others things; he taught me the value of a well placed hammer blow to effective automotive service. Grin. I found Clifford to be gentle, kind and to have almost infinite patience for my lack of knowledge and experience on the job. I remember him most fondly. Sincerely, Jeff Card. - Posted by: Jeff Card (Co-worker) on: Mar 04, 2023
