Condolences & Memories (15 entries)

  • Our deepest condolences to Diane, Savannah and Sydney. Our daughter Ginette went to Girl Guides with Savannah the first couple of years that we moved to Oakbank. Savannah, you spoke so well at the community gathering, it touched my heart profoundly, I simply can't express how sad It makes me knowing you lost such a great dad! Our hearts and prayers go out to you all. - Posted by: Norbert & Ryxie Dupas (Friend) on: Mar 12, 2018

  • We met Al many years ago as our girls (Ana and Savannah) played ball together. Jay and Al were always working with the girls assistant coaching and then with Al head coach last year taking the girls to silver medals. He was a gentleman and a kind soul who had a funny sense of humor and a great smile and laugh. Or daughter Ana thought he was pretty awesome and we did too. Our family is praying for yours - We hope you find peace and rest and joy in eachother as you navigate this new season in your lives. - Posted by: Jason, Angela, Ana and Olive Palidwor (Friend) on: Mar 09, 2018

  • Dear Diane and Family, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. It was a joy to work for and with Al. Thinking of you in this difficult time. - Posted by: Lorna Dorge (Co-Worker) on: Mar 05, 2018

  • I am so saddened to hear this. While I hadn't talked to Al in probably 15 years, he was a wonderful co-worker who was patient, funny, and good-natured. Quick anecdote: I still remember when our company brought in a rule about not having food at our desks. I went to see Al about something and there he was with a bucket of KFC and halfway into a bite. "I hope you won't say anything about this" was his plea. I immediately yelled out that Al had KFC he wanted to share. He shared and, while much chagrined, he laughed heartily. I wouldn't have dreamt of pulling that off on any manager but Al. - Posted by: Danny D (Former co-worker) on: Mar 05, 2018

  • Please accept my and my family's condolences on Alan's passing. I have fond memories of his time at Convergys, his being on of the managers who cared. We hope that all of his best will live on in memories and stories long after the Jets have finally won a Stanley Cup.

  • I would like to say that, I am so sorry for the loss of Alan, to the Sauve family. My heart hurts upon hearing of this loss. Hugs to you all. May you fly with angels Alan.. - Posted by: Cindy L. Haverlock (Cousin) on: Mar 04, 2018

  • I met Al about 27 years ago when I first started dating my husband Doug. Doug and Al were very close friends, so we all spent a great deal of time together. I have so many happy memories of years spent with Al playing sponge hockey and softball (and going out for drinks afterward), going to socials and dancing with him to Rasputin and Grease Lightening, weekends camping and partying at Red Lake Falls and JFD weekend parties at our place. During these years, Al and I spent many late night hours just talking about anything and everything. We were a lot like in so many ways and it wasn’t long before he wasn’t just my husbands dear friend, but my own as well. Sadly, as all of our lives became busy raising our respective families we did not see much of each other in recent years, which is something both Doug and I now regret. I will miss you Al, rest well my friend. Please know that my heartfelt thoughts are with you Diane, Savannah and Sydney. - Posted by: Tammy Johnson (Friend) on: Mar 04, 2018

  • Alan was a wonderful person to work with at ATT/Convergys. Despite all the inappropriate stresses that company put on everyone, Alan was always able to handle himself in a helpful and professional manner. He's one of the good 'guys and will be missed. My deepest condolences' to his family and friends. - Posted by: Jim Stuart (Former co-worker) on: Mar 03, 2018

  • I had the pleasure of working with Alan at Convergys. He was always full of energy and always had time for you. It was always great having hockey or football conversations. I am so sorry for your loss as I know he will be deeply missed. He was an all round great guy! - Posted by: John Martens (former employee) on: Mar 03, 2018

  • Al was my first manager at AT&T and believed in me when I did not believe in myself. Great man, may he RIP. Deepest condolences to his family on their loss. - Posted by: Tim Sandison () on: Mar 03, 2018

  • Friends is not a big enough word to describe what Al was to me, from the moment we met 30 years ago to the final moments, we had a connection. I'm going to miss you more than you'll ever know. We laughed together, we cried together, I watch him fall in love with Diane, he watched me fall in love with Tammy. I listened to him rave about his girls while raved on about my boys. I know you're with me still Al but the worlds duller today without you in it. - Posted by: Doug Johnson (Illegitimate brother) on: Mar 03, 2018

  • So many memories of times with Al, it’s difficult to know where to begin. Good times and challenges working together, our mutual love for all things sports, crazy times fishing and singing songs around the fire at our cabin or laughing at/with each other on the golf course. Al was a one-of-a-kind guy; a leader, a mentor, loyal soldier and true friend. You are truly going to be missed on earth and cherished in heaven. RIP my friend. - Posted by: John Hallonquist (Friend) on: Mar 03, 2018
