ALLEN (AL) WERSTIUK February 8, 1951 - January 29, 2018 It is with deep sorrow we mourn the sudden passing of Allen Stephen Werstiuk, who left us on January 29, 2018 at the age of 67. Al will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 30 years, Leigh Cox, his sons Chris (partner Carla), Dan, and his daughter Tracy; his grandson Justin Pay-Werstiuk. He will also be forever remembered by his mother Rose, sisters Sharon (Joe) Morrow, Diane (Mitch) Wasylnuk, and Irene Werstiuk; cousins Donnie, Dave, and Carol as well as many other cherished cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. Al was predeceased by his father Stephen. Al worked as a garage mechanic, at Petland for 10 years, and then New Flyer building buses. After a severe shoulder injury he was on compensation for 10 years, fighting them tooth and nail all the way. He "retired" at the age of 65. At a young age Al enjoyed playing pool and competitive arm wrestling. His passion, however, was cars, restoring old Chevy's, buying and selling parts. If there was an auction, he was there. In accordance with Al's wishes, cremation has taken place. A celebration of life will be announced to family and friends at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the charity of your choice. Desjardins 204-233-4949 1-888-233-4949 www.desjardinsfuneralchapel.ca

  • Allen it has been a long time. Christmas is close now and I remember our friendship like it was yesterday. Your birthday was the day before mine and we always got together for a drink at the Dakota lounge. I miss our talks. You were the best friend a woman could have in a guy. For that I am truly grateful. God bless you my friend. I know you are well cared for. - Posted by: Wendy Hart (Flockton) (Friend) on: Dec 08, 2024
