I am so saddened by the passing of Al. Words can not describe what an amazing man Al was, he was a father figure to many of us. I have such fond memories of the time I spent at the house on Wilson Ave. Both Al and Arlene were always there welcoming us as family even after seeing the Cherry Whiskey being brought out haha, making sure we were all going to the famous hockey dances and of course reminding us to be on our best behaviour (Dougie haha). Al was an amazing community man always volunteering his time to help others and I’m sure will be missed by so many. Love you all xoxo

Carson Donahee says
God saw you were getting tired
And it was not meant to be,
So he put his arms around you
And whispered,”come to me”.
With tearful eyes we watched you
And saw you pass away,
Although we loved you dearly
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating
Hard working hands at rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
Deepest Sympathy
Carson, Heather and Michael Donahee
