Learn, Alexander ‘Al’ - It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our Dad on July 29, 2020 in his 88th year, with family by his side at Lookout Ridge Fonthill. Al was born in Port Colborne, living most of his life in Welland and retiring at their home on the Parkway in Fort Erie.
Predeceased by his loving wife of 66 years, Betty (June 6, 2020), his brother Paul (1967) and his parents Harry and Isabel. Loving father to John (Rosalie), Sue (Jack), Kelly (Jim), Ed (Lise) and Jeff. Beloved grandfather to Jesse, Devin, Tulah, Diti, Levi, Molly, Farrah, Tiana, Ty, Peyton and Sydney. Remembered by his brothers Ed, Jim and Ross, nieces, nephews and many dear friends.
Al was a graduate of Welland High & Vocational School. He began his career as Foreman at General Tire, then Plant Manager at Welland Forge. He returned to school at age 40, becoming a Financial Advisor at Draper Dobie, Pitfield Mackay Ross and RBC Dominion Securities.
