ALBERT (AL) STEPHEN

Condolences & Memories (10 entries)

• My sincere sympathies to the Stephen family. We worked together at Transit for a number of years. In addition, Al played shortstop on the fast pitch team I coached. I had a lengthy chat with Al last December and value that opportunity to share our past. RIP friend. Martin - Posted by: Martin Kaczkowski (Transit Co-worker) on: Feb 17, 2022

• I was very saddened to read of the passing of Sonny. That's what we all called him in St. James. I knew Sonny as he was growing up and eventually had the opportunity and pleasure to coach him in baseball and football. Sonny was a terrific athlete, smart, and always gave 110%. I'm not surprised to see that he coached teams himself as he had all the traits that make good coaches. It's been several years since Sonny and I crossed paths, but he was always someone I had great respect for as a young man. Lots of good memories of his exploits on the field and his friendship will always remain. My most sincere condolences to his family and friends. - Posted by: Maurice (Moe) Hogue (Friend) on: Feb 10, 2022

• Glenda and I wish to pass our condolences to Diane and the Stephen's family on the passing of Al. Al was always there to help out whomever.

• Al was my first transit supervisor when I started there 25 years ago. He was easy to talk to and would listen when you needed him to. After he retired from Transit I would see him around town from time to time and he would always be happy to stop and talk for a moment. Now another good man gone from here. I am sorry for the families loss. - Posted by: Darlene McWilliams (co-worker) on: Feb 05, 2022

• From the moment I met my ops supervisor Al at Winnipeg Transit back in 1994, I knew he was a wonderful man. He was always fair with me and we managed to have a few laughs over some of my rookie mistakes. I was also lucky enough to curl one time with him in the Civic Bonspiel at Fort Rouge Curling Club along with 2 other co workers. I enjoyed curling and talking to him. He was such a kind man and had a wonderful smile. He will be truly missed. - Posted by: Elaine Nicholl (co worker) on: Feb 05, 2022

• Sorry to hear of Al’s passing. Al was one the hardest working people I knew and always had time for those around him. He will be missed. - Posted by: Henry Claeys (Co-Worker) on: Feb 05, 2022

• Al and I, cousins, have had very limited contact over the decades but whenever we were able to talk or get together I was always struck by his kind-hearted nature. He was also fun, it was always a pleasure to be in the same room with him. I am sure his family will miss his presence immensely. I extend to them my deepest sympathy.
