AL CARE
September 6, 1941- November 23, 2019
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our father and pops. Al passed away peacefully in his sleep after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease on Saturday, November 23, 2019 at Fred Douglas Lodge.
Al was predeceased by his loving wife Christine and brother- in-law Brian Decka. He will be deeply missed by his sons Allan and Jason; daughter-in-law Larysa and his cherished granddaughters Tyanna (his princess) and Alexa (his pixie) whom he so adored. Al will also be sadly missed by his sister Donna Gannon, sister-in-law Paulette Decka; nieces and nephews as well his many dear friends and family members.
Al spent an enjoyable career with Manitoba Telephone Systems (MTS) for 39 years of service after his graduation from the University of Manitoba. He was an active member of the Royal Canadian Legion – Branch 141, where he served as president, zone commander and participated in a multitude of other positions.
Al had a love for the summer and sun. His early favourite memories were spent for weeks at Grand Beach where he would rent a cabin for Christine and his sons to enjoy. He also looked forward to Sunday picnics and swims at Selkirk Park. As the years progressed and his boys grew older, Al was blessed to have two granddaughters to continue making cherished memories doing these things with.
Al’s favourite past time were his cars. He always had the cleanest cars and spent hours in the garage detailing them, not to mention the spic and span white garage that he was so proud of.
Al loved life and the company of good friends and family.
We will miss you Dad and Pops; we are at peace knowing that you are without pain and free. You are back together with Mom now and we know that we have gained another angel in heaven to watch over us and protect us. We miss you already and will forever hold you in our hearts.
Inurnment will be held on Monday, December 2, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. at Green Acres Cemetery in the Holy Angel Mausoleum (second floor), Highway No.1 East at Navin Road. A Celebration of Life will follow after the Inurnment.
Special thank you to the nurses and health care aids at Fred Douglas Lodge – spruce wing for your care and support.
