Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryABRAHAM (AL) HAMM December 9, 1926 - April 29, 2017 It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our dad, grandfather and great-grandfather at Evergreen Seniors Home in Campbell River, BC on April 29, 2017. Al and Elaine raised their family in Winnipeg, Manitoba where Al was a fire fighter with the Winnipeg Fire Department for over 40 years. In retirement Al and Elaine enjoyed many wonderful winters in Florida and Arizona spending time with friends. Al enjoyed watching sports, playing golf and Scrabble. He loved to read nonfiction books and doing crosswords and Sudoku. He also loved playing checkers with his grandsons. Al's pride was his family. He looked forward to his yearly family reunions that he integrated after Elaine passed. He had a great sense of humor and was a loving father to his children, Gale, Janet (Steven), Rick (Heather), and Rob (Nona). He leaves behind many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. He is also survived by his sister Evelyn and sisters-in-law, Dorothea and Marlene. He was a very generous man and enjoyed any excuse to gather family together for any occasion especially Sunday brunches. The family would also like to thank the Evergreen staff and nurses who made Dad's stay for the last two years such a pleasant one - it was his home. We will miss him dearly.

Gale, I was so sorry to read about your dad. I'm so glad that you got to spend so many of his last years with him, and that you have your family near you now to help you in this time of loss. - Posted by: Edith () on: May 13, 2017

So sorry to read about your Dad. He and Tex had kept in touch over the years and Tex thought a lot of your Dad. He was the reason, apparently, why I got yellow roses over the years instead of red carnations. Yellow roses made Tex think of his Uncle Al. Dads have a special place in their children's hearts. - Posted by: Sally Hamm (Niece) on: May 07, 2017

It's hard to see the older generation grow old and leave. He will be dearly missed by his family. My thoughts go out to the family at this time of mourning. Dorothy - Posted by: Dorothy Gerbrandt (niece) on: May 06, 2017
