ALVIN (AL) WILLIAM GRISWOLD September 15, 1935 - Saltcoats, SK May 8, 2015 - Calgary, AB It is with deep sadness we announce that Alvin (Al) William Griswold passed away after a short illness at Foothills Hospital on May 8. Al was born September 15, 1935 on the family farm just outside of Saltcoats, SK and moved to Winnipeg as a young man. There he met the love of his life Anne Palmeruk, raised a family and made many wonderful friends. After working in the garment trade for over 35 years, he retired and shortly thereafter he and Anne relocated to Calgary to be with their grandchildren. Al enjoyed his golf, kibitzing with his friends and neighbours, and especially loved his family. Al is survived by sisters, Dorothy (Frank) Simpson and Marjorie Keller; brother Vern (Ethel); nephew Garvin (Darlyn); son Ron (Ruth); grandchildren, Melissa (Brad), Erin and Daniel; sisters-in-law, Betty Palmeruk and Elsie Palmeruk; brother-in-law John Palmeruk and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his wife Anne; brother George; brother-in-law Les Keller; sister-in-law Dora (Bill) Fostey; sister-in-law Mary (Mike) Bezan; brothers-in-law, George Palmeruk and Eli Palmeruk; and sister-in-law Nancy Palmeruk. Al will be interned in Yorkton, SK on September 19 and a celebration of his life and luncheon will take place at the Family Center at Yorkton Memorial Gardens Cemetery just east of Yorkton on Highway 10 at 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Saskatchewan time.
