John Enquist Obituary
Al passed away quietly on October 25 at Kinsmen Lodge in Surrey at the age of 92.
Al was born and raised in Powell River, BC. There, he met and married his beloved wife Barbara in 1959 and built their first home together. Wishing to expand their horizons, they moved to a suburb of Los Angeles in 1961, where they started their family and Al began his career in the printing industry. In 1969, they moved back to BC and settled in Tsawwassen, where they raised their daughters in a community full of rich friendships. At that time, Al began working at Mills Printing, where he worked until his retirement.
Al had a love of all kinds of sports and was a lifelong Canucks fan. He enjoyed bowling and curling with Barb and friends, played and coached his daughters in softball, but loved golfing most of all and the community at the Beach Grove Golf Club. He had a friendly and talkative nature and was always happy to chat with friends and strangers alike. He will be fondly remembered and missed by all who knew him.
Al is predeceased by his wife Barb, siblings Norma and Raymond, and is survived by children Michelle Cody and Joanne Laing, son-in-law Joe Laing and grandchild Danny Laing. Memorial service details to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Delta Hospital Foundation.
