We went to South Park Elementary, and Central Junior high together, I was always impressed with his musical talents my memory of his Stratocaster, or was it a Telacastor Vox beatleman Amp, fuzbox and WAWA pedial. He used to play in his basement. One thing I remember was him taking a rifle to school (things were a lot saner back then) when asked about it the he said it was about the Beatles song start a revolution. after I moved up Island we lost contact we got together for Walters wedding where he wired the horn to the brake switch of Walter get away car. I lost touch and finally got to see him the end of 2019, where I saw he had grown up but wzs still the same great guy. I just heard of his passing I am so sorry. I did not meet his family my sympathy to them and all his friends.

A great guy, kind person, always willing to help out and lots of fun. Al's infamous 'car cruises' to the local A&W were always a feature of every high school reunion. He will be sorely missed by all his old friends from James Bay and Victoria High.

What a loss to this crazy world! Loss of an ever-faithful friend; loss of an upbeat, constantly positive and encouraging presence that always knew things would turn out better than expected; loss of that dynamo of energy who could mobilize an enthusiastic army of volunteers for any event via an e-mail or two; loss of an ambulatory encyclopedia that knew the answer to any gun question ever asked; and most of all, the loss of the patron saint of the Victoria Women Shooters from the beginning. We were so blessed by Al’s support, and especially his mantra, which I heard many times, “Any excuse to be up at the Range!”
Good-bye, precious friend. I will miss your GTF biscotti at every gun and boat show!
Love & endless admiration,
p.s. So sorry this is late. I thought it had been sent. It's a forever message; I hope that counts.

I will miss Uncle Al. He took me under his wing when I first arrived in Victoria, and taught me how to shoot IPSC. A great guy, who was knowledgable about every aspect of the shooting sports.

its a big loss my best and longest shooting friend is gone. He brought my to the cowboy shooting when the first match was in 1992. He has taught my endless things. His knowledge about our sport was a neverending source of inspiration. And he helped me whenever I needed it. Al you will be missed but never forgotten.

This is a hard task to choose which memories of Al to share. There are infinitely more than anyone could ever list. His warmth, ever-cheery outlook, and enthusiasm energized every gathering he attended.
From my point of view, best of all was his love for shooting sports and firearms. It was Al who encouraged me to show up at the range and ask the (then) all-male SIAS members if I could shoot with them. I seem to remember it took more than one pep-talk, but he didn't give up.
Many years later, Al became mentor, good shepherd, and enthusiastic taskmaster to the fledgeling Victoria Women Shooters Club

Our sincerest condolences to Laurie and family. Al was always so cheerful, funny, and couldn't be stumped with a firearms question (and if he didn't know I'm sure he spoke with such authrity no one doubted him - LOL). We are going to miss your smiling face Al, see you again in a while.

Marvellous friend, many good times at North Saanich Rod and Gun shoots and Vancouver Island Mustang events. He will be missed for his muffins and conversation. Al was there when I purchased the pistol my husband Fred wanted, to give him for his birthday. Fred was not impressed the gun was registered in my name! We laughed over that for years.

Great loss to all who knew him. he was my "go tp" guy for any gun or ammo questions , when my students gave me odd questions. He was"cookie man" to our dog, who nearly turned herself inside out when she saw him. A fountain of knowledge, great stories, and lots of laughs.
He will be sorely missed. Rip Al, no more pain.

I am so sorry Laurie--Al was such a friendly guy, honest, helpful and a genuinely kind soul. In the last number of years I have missed friendships like Al's.I remember the years he worked at Island Outfitters always behind the counter with a big smile and a hearty laugh and great advice. The Mustangs did he love the Mustangs. Rest In peace Al.

What I will always remember and admire about Al is that he never spoke down to anyone regardless of that persons knowledge about what ever the subject matter was. He could communicate with anyone and teach people with out being condescending. Thank you for the gift of knowledge that you gave to me.
