He was a long-time member of The Royal Canadian Legion Br. #55, Woodstock, and the Navy Club. Al could be known to fix anything. When he was presented with something that was broken, he rarely called in the professionals. He also loved the outdoors, enjoying camping and the “boys of summer”, his beloved Blue Jays. Al’s deepest passion was family. Whether it be Christmas or any other reason to gather as a family, it was important to Al that the everyone be together whenever it was possible.  A private service will be held by the family.

A Celebration of Life Open House will take place on Saturday August 14, 2021 from 1–4pm at 92 Oakridge Ave., Innerkip.  If desired, memorial contributions to the Woodstock Hospital Foundation would be appreciated by the family and may be arranged through the Brock Visser Funeral Home, Woodstock (519-539-0004).
