He graduated with a Geophysics Degree from UBC in the 1970s. While living in Kelowna, Al had many careers including being a long time transit driver and businessman. Al enjoyed his life to the max right up until the week before he passed. He and Chris had just returned from a wonderful trip to Europe including a cruise to Norway, one of the many adventures and travel they enjoyed together. Al loved animals, hiking, and spending time with his many family and friends. He was an Honourary Life Member of Rotary, Morningside Club and he was proud to have had 34 years of perfect attendance.
