Condolences & Memories (30 entries)

• With deepest condolences to you and your family. I'll remember Al as a man who enjoyed cards, a glass of wine, doing crossword puzzles (in ink no less), shuffleboard, and a little golf. Al was my boss at DDVL and I'm proud to say, my friend. We'll all miss his big smile. God Bless! - Posted by: Bob Chapman (Former boss at DDVL - Worked with him for about 30 years) on: Nov 25, 2014

• i was in a golf league with al and and while he could hit the golfball 350 yards it usually went 5 or 6 fairways over. it is okay al you are now in a better place. - Posted by: percy and christine cadman (friends and past co- workers of al) on: Nov 25, 2014

• Met Al at a shuffleboard tournament and I guess he thought I might be a good mixed doubles partner. We clicked & enjoyed a few years of success. Even ended up at the Canadians one year. So sad to read of his passing. God rest his soul. - Posted by: Faye Serofin (shuffleboard partner and friend) on: Nov 24, 2014

• Our condolences to you Sandy and family on the loss of your best friend....shuffleboard events will not be the same; I will miss Al's greetings; always a smile and the biggest and best hug! - Posted by: Sandra and Mike Jacoby (Friends) on: Nov 21, 2014

• I worked for Al at 1075 Portage & later at City Place for more than 20 years and I rarely saw him without a smile on his face. If you asked him how he was doing, his standard reply was 'never better'. He was a man with his priorities straight - family & friends came first. His funeral yesterday was proof of this with the large turnout and the funny & loving stories we were all treated to. Julie your dad would have been so proud of the poise and humor you displayed yesterday when you spoke about him. To Sandy & the rest of Al's family the celebration of Al's life that you organized was a wonderful tribute to the happy & funny guy Al was. - Posted by: Catherine Hendricks (Co-worker and friend) on: Nov 21, 2014

• With deepest sympathy to all of Alan's family in your loss. We very much enjoyed the times we spent together when he travelled to Vancouver, such a kind, loving and friendly man, who was all about family. You could just feel the love he had for you all. I know our dear friend Brian Fulsher will especially miss "watching" hockey and curling long distance with Alan. RIP, Alan, and know you are among good company. - Posted by: Brent and Angela Bartok (Friend) on: Nov 21, 2014

• To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die. Alan we will always cherish the great times we had with you and Sandy.Friday night bridge games with grilled cheese bacon sandwiches made by you followed with many rum and cokes. The unforgettable visit to BC, especially the day spent at Bunzen Lake. A day filled with sh*ts and giggles. We will always miss you as you were such a big part of our lives.

• Al was a great boss to work for. I enjoyed the festive System's Christmas parties where Al's staff would get together and celebrate Christmas and enjoy an evening together as not boss and employee, but as friends. I also enjoyed the birthday lunches at the Paradise restaurant where Al allowed us to have a monthly get together to celebrate employee birthdays. Those memories are cherished and will not be forgotten. Our condolences to the Fulsher family on your loss. - Posted by: Eldon and Rachel Parkinson (Co-worker & friend) on: Nov 20, 2014

• I met Al over 30 years ago through shuffleboard and had a long friendship. When MVB and MPI merged, I had the pleasure of working with Al at 1075 Portage. Al was an amazing person, treated everyone with respect and was one of the nicest people that I have ever met. He lived life to the fullest. Rest in peace my friend. - Posted by: Chris Beck (Freind) on: Nov 19, 2014

• My condolences to Julie and Sandy and the entire family. I will always remember Al as a big guy with a gentle heart. We drove to college together in my old clunker and during breaks we played foosball for quarters so we could buy coffee. He was fantastic on defence and my main contribution was not to block his shots. Later we worked together at Motor Vehicle Branch and Alan could always be counted on for a cheerful good morning and a big smile. He extended that work into a great 33 year career. Al, we will miss you! - Posted by: James MacDonald (Friend) on: Nov 19, 2014

• Uncle Alan will be dearly missed. He was great to be around. Lots of laughs and wisdom to share. He was always a generous host on our visits to Winnipeg. Will miss talking sports and golf swing mechanics! Like many before him he was taken from us too soon. - Posted by: Lee Fulsher and Family (Nephew) on: Nov 18, 2014

• I met Al many years ago in the Green Brier where he was dominant in shuffleboard and smiles. A friendship started and drifted from the Brier, Ranch House, Legion 30, Sals and the unknown Legion Branch at his house. Although I never saw him for a number of years, that smile burned into my memory. You will be missed. - Posted by: Rik Zatonski (Friend) on: Nov 18, 2014

• Once again our family is forced to decide whether or not to grieve the passing of one of our dearly beloved, or to thank the Lord for his taking our cousin home and offering him relief from his pain and suffering. Our thoughts at this time go to all family and friends but especially Al's best friend and loving daughter, Julie. Julie, the pain we feel can't compare to yours and I can only wish we could send a big hug over the internet but believe me we have lots saved for the next time we see you. God bless you and grant you the strength you need to get through this trying time. All our love xxxx - Posted by: Gerald & Nadine Andrews (Cousins) on: Nov 18, 2014

• So sad to hear of Alan's passing.....my heartfelt condolences to Alan's family and extended family. My brother John and I have been thinking and talking about Alan and growing up in Middlechurch and the fun we had! OMG! 'Those were the days my friend'. The late weekend nights and always stopping in to see if Uncle Freddie's lights were on....they always were.... Such memories. Alan was our gentle giant keeping us safe from harm. Sort of. Fulsher, Ola, whatever term of endearment we called him, he was a true friend who generally erred on the side of caution involving hijinks. Sort of. He always talked about possible dangers before leading the charge... Rest well my friend. You touched a lot of people with your light. - Posted by: Tom Crerar (Neighbourhood friend, partner in crime....) on: Nov 18, 2014

• Carolyn and I worked with Al for many years at the Motor Vehicle Branch, followed by MPI. Al was well respected in his field of work and was a great person to be with outside the office. He had a great sense of humour and knew how to enjoy life. Our condolences are extended to the Fulsher family during this difficult time. - Posted by: Don & Carolyn Halbert & Family (Friend) on: Nov 18, 2014
