He arrived in Winnipeg in 1975 and joined the Dept. of Natural Resources where he worked on the Dutch Elm Disease Program and built three log cabins for which he was very proud. Alfie loved nature and spending time outdoors including many camping trips with Shirley. Their first date was in the bush so he could show her a giant cottonwood tree. Papa had a caring, friendly nature that children and dogs loved. He made friends wherever he went and was known for his volunteerism, particularly with the Salvation Army and Goldwing Ambassador Program in Winnipeg. He was an avid airplane enthusiast with an infectious smile, great sense of humour, warm heart and was always there for family, friends and anyone in need. Alf spent the last five years at St. Norbert then Deer Lodge Personal Care Homes. The family is especially grateful to the staff in T5 for their kindness and compassion.

Alf, Thank you for being a good companion to my Mother. You were the calm Harbour in her life and helped her in so many ways. Everyone appreciated your helping hand whether it was fiscal, mental or spiritual. The young ones in our family always had a special place in your heart and your mellow laugh and a kind hug helped wipe away their tears. When Sharon fretted about the lack of Birds on our new property, in your deep voice said not to worry they will come. After 15 years of weather, Your hand built bird houses still shelter our feathered friends on our property. Thank you for everything that you did for us. Stephen & Sharon - Posted by: Stephen & Sharon Burdy (Shirley's Son & Daughter In-Law) on: Jan 31, 2012
