Sending most sincere condolences on the passing of Al.
My first memory of Al was at the golf club when I first took up the sport. He was so kind, considerate and fair. He looked at the bigger picture rather than the short term when it came to new golfers ….. I’ve never forgot his generosity.
Rest peacefully Mr Fong

We are so sorry for your great loss Raymonde.
May you find room in your heart for peace and serenity. You had many years with Al and he was fortunate to have such a loving companion.
Our prayers are with you all.
My sadness quickly gave way to joyous memories. . . including both of us (and numerous others) getting a passing grade in grade 12 chemistry by promising Mr. Mervyn never to take it in grade 13 (which he also taught). I still don't understand why Al got a 54 to my 52.
Saddened to hear of Al's passing.
Rest In Peace

Ray, please accept my most sincere condolences. The Second and Third St. laneway is changing too quickly; really, it is a community within a community.
