He was predeceased by his wife Margaret (Peg) in 1997.
Al spent most of his life in the Deer Lodge area of Winnipeg, residing on Winchester Street for most of his life. He joined the R.C.A.F. at the age of 18 years, serving in Canada, the United Kingdom and continental Europe for four and a half years during the Second World War. He was a member of the Canadian Legion Branch #4, a life member of both the 409 R.C.A.F. Nighthawk Association and the Normandy Veterans Association. He was a past president and honorary life member of the Deer Lodge Curling Club, where he began curling in 1936. In his final curling years, he curled with the Antlers, in a senior's league.
Al retired from Great West Life in 1983 after 31 years and enjoyed many years of golf and travel with Peg.

My family only knew George for a short period of time. We moved my Umpa (grandfather) into Sturgeon 2 earlier this summer, George was a strong asset in my grandfather's transition to his new home. They were table mates and George was the first to show him around and introduce him to fellow residents. We spent a few meals together, lots of stories and many laughs. He mentioned that he loved Yorkshire puddings and I gladly brought him one every Sunday after dinner when bringing my grandfather home. He was sharp as a tack, witty, funny and kind. He will be greatly missed, by all. Sending love, light and positivity to his family and close friends during this difficult time. Rest easy George.
