Alan will be greatly missed by his beloved wife of 62 years, Peggy; children, Michael (Colleen), Ian (Sharron), Kathleen (John); and grandchildren, Rob, Megan, Ty, Braiden and Cassidy. Born and raised in Regina, Saskatchewan, he was educated at Luther College, University of Manitoba and University of Toronto. Alan worked in the food industry, spending the last 20 years of his career at Bee Maid Honey as the director of marketing and ultimately the vice president. Alan was well known for his love of golf and all things golf. He was a member of Larters at St. Andrews and Wildewood Golf Courses. He also curled for many years at Deer Lodge Curling Club. Alan had a strong sense of community, acting as a director in several organizations including Winnipeg Jaycees, Larters at St. Andrews, Manitoba Heart and Stroke Foundation, Abra-Yeoman Foods, and was a founding director of the Manitoba Food Processors Association. He volunteered his time for several years as a Gold Wing Ambassador at the Winnipeg Airport, where he made use of his linguistic skills in French, German and Spanish. Above all, his greatest pride and joy was his family and family gatherings. The family would like to especially thank Dr. Cordova and the Cardiac unit at St. Boniface Hospital. In lieu of flowers, donation may be made to the Manitoba Heart and Stroke Association or the Reh-fit Centre. A funeral service will be held on Wednesday, March 23, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. at Thomson "In the Park" Funeral Home, 1291 McGillivray Boulevard.

Shocked to read last week that your dear companion has passed. He will be missed at the airport where he was a conscientious, and friendly volunteer ambassador for many years. My feelings are strong for you at this time, Peggy. Helen Morrow - Posted by: Helen Morrow (Friend) on: Mar 25, 2016

I'm sad to hear about the passing of Mr. Mahon. I recall how he & Mrs. Mahon patiently drove carloads of Kathleen's friends to countless swim practices, golf courses and ski-hills. He was encouraging, positive and witty. Above all, he was a gentleman. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family as they mourn his loss. - Posted by: Cheryl (Friesen) Krause (former Nightingale Rd. neighbor) on: Mar 22, 2016

Sorry to hear about Al death. I knew Al when I curled at Deer Lodge 2002 until 2005 when I moved to British Columbia. He always spoke to me in a mild gentle way and treated this French speaking person with respect and understanding. I also remembered Al trying in vain to show me the correct ways of golfing. That was over fifteen years ago and I can still recall his peaceful way of life. How amazingly fortunate that I had a chance to meet this great man. I'll always remember him in my daily thoughts. Again so sorry to hear of his passing and your loss. Yours truly Richard Parent Cobble Hill British Columbia - Posted by: Richard Parent (Friend in curling and golfing) on: Mar 20, 2016
