Alison, know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
I am so sorry for the loss of your father. Please accept my condolences and may my small prayer help comfort you. I hope that your and your family get much-needed peace during this sad time. May God also give Alfred eternal rest and the family the strength to bear the great pain. Marque
Alfred has been a part of our life here on Halkirk Crt for our 26 years here. We will surely miss seeing him leave on his visits to Mary everyday. Will miss catching up with where he is off to the cottage or To Florida. He surely loved his family and we will miss his smiling face around here.
I was saddened to hear the news of Alf's passing. I worked with him for several years on the TCPPA and grew to appreciate what an intelligent, thoughtful man he was. I loved to sit near him during our lunches because he was such a great story teller. I am no longer with the committee but I know he will be greatly missed by his colleagues. My sincere condolences to his family.
Dear James, Carolyn and Alison:
I was so saddened to see the passing of your dad. Alfie, as we called him in the Parks and & Rec department, was truly one of the "good guys". He was fun to be with and was committed to doing good work. He was straight forward and "a political". I could trust his opinions and more often than not, I took his sage advice. He contributed to making the City a better place and I thought of him often as I passed by the parks where he had a hand in their design and development.
While I am unable to attend the funeral services, please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your dad. He will be in my thoughts!
