Damn Unkie Al, I miss your big fat face that you use to blurt out ridiculous things just to annoy me. You will be happy to know the Oilers got swept by the AVS in round 3 which is not bad. Finally, a consistent playoff runs under our belt. I really thought your Rangers were going to pull thru this season but they too lost in round 3 but put up one helluva fight I'm sad for them. You had better been cheering on from heaven. I miss you Uncle Al. Tremendously. Wish you were here to talk shit with like our old days. Take care of gramps, Tatiana & cousin Wayne. Y'all need each other. Also, eff cancer. Miss you!!!!!! Banana head - Posted by: Alana (Niece) on: Jun 14, 2022

We met Al while he was working at the Kiwanis Properties. He truly was a great guy who was always there to help when needed and had a wonderful sense of humour. We had many laughs together and we will truly miss that. Rest in peace friend.....you will always have a warm place in our hearts. - Posted by: Greg and Sharon Sutherland (Friend) on: Jun 25, 2017

49 years I knew you Al, through good times, bad and even some ugly ones, you always were a good friend, made us all laugh with your quick humour, I remember the 8 year olds we were, learning to ride bikes to the 16 years olds learning to drive, turning bar age to finally growing up and being responsible (some what anyway) you deserve nothing less than enjoying this next journey, say hello to your dad for me! I am sure you two have already hoisted a few. You are and always will be on my mind my friend. - Posted by: Glenn Brown (Friend) on: Jun 24, 2017
