Al took pride in his service with the Royal Canadian Air Force. He had his pilot's licence and was passionate about planes. Al was a great salesman and entrepreneur. He also spent many years driving taxi and highway coach, which allowed him to connect and meet many wonderful people. Al will be remembered as an avid sportsman.

As we reflect on Al's life, our hearts are filled with loving memories and wonderful stories such as his heroic rescue in 1953 and by his love for dogs. In the words of one of Al's favourite entertainers, Flip Wilson, "The Devil made me do it!" … words he lived by We are left with many fond memories of his strength, determination and love for his family.
