Dad started his company A.C.T. Equipment Sales Ltd. 57 years ago and a few years later Wesco Production Tools Ltd. Dad was a tireless ball of energy both in his work and many recreational activities that he participated in. He rode his bike up until the age of 90. He will be sadly missed by all. A private family gathering will be held in Alf's honor to celebrate his life.

My name is Frank Cochrane , i have been retired almost 20 years now and was sorry to hear of Alf's passing . My business dealings with A.C.T. on behalf of Dormer Tools was a truly loyal experience over a period of 25 years , Alf was an industry leader and always the gentleman to deal with.
My sincere condolences go out to all his children who over time i had the pleasure of knowing ,mainly Scott and Glenn
