Sometime during the night of December 17th, my beloved soulmate Al slipped into the next life.
He was a kind, honest and decent man who gave me the gift of the best eighteen years of my life, and I will always cherish those memories.
We never had an argument, but rather, we had a saying “do you have a dollar?” if we disagreed - and we were willing to lose a dollar if we may have been wrong, one of us had to pay up. We were pretty much even in the end.
He made me laugh every day, and quite often made me laugh uproariously! He was a brat, but he was my brat!
During our years together we travelled to Australia, Nova Scotia (to research his family ancestry), nine consecutive years to Kihei, Maui, as well as a month long vacation in my hometown of Osoyoos every May. My two sisters and their partners welcomed him into our small family unit, and six of us enjoyed many rounds of golf, wonderful meals, and always lots of fun and laughter together.
Al had requested that he wanted no formal service; however I plan to honour him at some point in 2024.
“May the four winds carry you gently home”
