Born in Almonte, Ontario, on September 26, 1937, Al proudly served in the Canadian Armed Forces before settling in Windermere, British Columbia, where he completed his career at the Eddie Mountain Memorial Arena, a place that allowed him to stay connected to the community he cared about.

Al loved time with family, tending his beautiful garden, a good game of cards, a day spent fishing, and watching his favourite sports. He was an active member of the Lake Windermere District Lions Club and the Invermere Legion. He will be remembered for his steady kindness, quick sense of humor, and the positive spirit that made others feel welcome and at ease.

Besides his loving wife Bunny, Al leaves behind his children Deborah (Debbie) and Eric, Wendy and Bob, Shelley and Bruce, Susan (Sue), Timothy (Tim) and Mona, and Dean, as well as many grandchildren and great-grandchildren who were a great source of pride and joy.

A celebration of Al’s life will be held at the Invermere Legion at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, January 9, 2026. The family is deeply grateful for the friendship and support of all who shared in his life.
